THE #1 AMAZON BESTSELLING JACK WIDOW SERIES

Don’t miss the next electrifying installment!

NEVER CROSS THE LINE. NEVER CROSS… WIDOW.

Jack Widow lives by simple rules: keep moving, live and let live. But there’s one more rule—don’t cross him, and he won’t cross you.

Deep in the Ozarks, the forgotten town of Iron Crossing harbors deadly secrets. Once a thriving railroad hub, now it’s controlled by the Brock family—a ruthless clan who’ll do anything to protect their criminal empire.

When a chance encounter with the Brocks turns violent, Nora Sutton—a young mother—and her daughters become targets. But when Jack Widow steps in to defend them, he starts a war with a family whose grip on the town is ironclad.

Outnumbered, outgunned, and facing impossible odds, Widow is the only one willing to cross the line. He won’t back down. Not ever.

Fans of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp, and Mark Greaney’s The Gray Man series will devour the Jack Widow action-thriller series.

If you’re looking for a relentless nail-biter that grabs you from the first chapter and builds to an explosive finish, then The Ghost Line is for you. Listen to international best-seller Scott Blade’s latest “pulse-pounding thrill ride” today.

Because I’m waiting for all of the writers I listen to’s next book, I’ve been forced to try other writers and continue to be left disappointed. Was thrilled to finally see this book came to audio and I was not let down! Loved the character, story, and narrator. Cannot wait for the next one….

On the edge of my seat….

I’ve listened to all the Widow books and
enjoyed them all, some more than others. So far, in spite of the fact that all the Widow books more or less seem follow a formula, (wanders into some town, gorgeous woman in distress, very bad villains, Widow prevails
against almost insurmountable odds, etc)
this is Scott Blade’s best Widow book. Same
formula but with more texture, more inventiveness, etc. And the reader IS Jack Widow. If you’re a Widow fan, don’t miss this one

I love Jack Widow and this series. I look forward to the new series in audible and it is absolutely my favorite character next to Jack Reacher,

Absolutely love this series!!!

How absolutely wonderfully sickeningly warped the antagonists in this book are. Without going into too much detail the protagonist in this book is Jack Widow. I always hate making the comparison because Widow is his own character and a force to be reckoned with but he is similar to Jack Reacher. The reason I bring up the similarities is because the plot in this book is reminiscent to the plot in the book MAKE ME, book 20 in the Reacher series. Don’t get me wrong there are vast differences but enough that it reminded me of that book.

When Widow arrives in the town of Iron Crossings he’s only there to look into rumor he’d heard. It’s about a man who used to jump trains who disappeared in this town. Widow didn’t expect to find anything out but finds a woman whose husband disappeared the same time as the train stowaway.
At the same time as this is going on you’re given a glimpse into what a corrupt family has its hands into. It’s rather ghoulish and not recommended for the faint of heart. For the rest may I suggest that you buckle up for one heck of a ride.

Alan Philip Ormond does a phenomenal job narrating. He is unquestionably one of the best narrators in the industry today (in my opinion).

This book has my VERY HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!!
