About this listen

Homicide Detective Max Rupert never fully accepted his wife's death, even when he believed that a reckless hit and run driver was the cause. But when he learns that in fact she was murdered, he devotes himself to hunting down her killers. Most of his life he had thought of himself as a decent man. But now he's so consumed with thoughts of retribution that he questions whether he will take that last step and enact the vengeance he longs for.

On a frozen lake near the US-Canadian border, he wrestles with a decision that could change his life forever, as his hatred threatens to turn him into the kind of person he has spent a career bringing to justice.

Critic reviews

"Eskens infuses the old this-time-it's-personal trope with raw urgency, righteous indignation, and enough scorching action to melt every trace of the Minnesota snow in his finest hour to date." ( Kirkus, Starred Review)
Engaging Plot • Compelling Characters • Unexpected Twists • Atmospheric Writing • Emotional Depth • Perfect Voice Match

I really enjoyed the next installment in Eskens' series...please don't make us wait so long for the next one!
it's nice to find a great series that takes place in 'flyover land' and very nice to be able to read an author who knew the real legal world of criminal defense (Eskens has a J.D.).There are twists and turns to keep a reader guessing and Max is an easy character to care about.

Max is back!

R. C. Bray could narrate the phone book and make it seem to have an interesting plot. I bought the book because I'm a huge Bray fan, but the story was actually pretty good on its own. The characters are fleshed out enough for the reader to care about them, and the structure of the story keeps it engaging even though we essentially know how it ends (the action begins in the present moment and then flashes back and forth). Overall, I was entertained and recommend this book for anyone fond of this genre.

R.C Bray: outstanding narrator. Story: good

I really enjoyed the story as it played out. Love Minnesota mysteries and this is as good as a Sandford novel

Not my favorite in this series

Was not very exciting. Typical story line and was kind of boring. Good for sleeping though!

The ending

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The narrator nearly ruined this book for me. His overdone growl of a voice was painful to listen to. Hearing him repeatedly pronounce "fillet" incorrectly was even worse. The story was okay but quite dark.

Poor Performance

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Perfect pace, not a wasted word or superfluous detail. Perfect match for an audio book. A masterfully written story.

Not a word wasted

Voice actor was great. Audio sounded good too. i will be listening to this again.

good book

This is definitely for the James Bond/Mission Impossible lovers. A lot of action. The narrator did an amazing job.

James Bond meats Mission Impossible!
