Pilot Jake Silver is haunted by a cruel irony — he secretly suspects that he’s the reason Swede Bergstrom, the hero who saved his life, has fallen on hard times. Upon learning that Swede has been killed during the commission of a crime, the guilt-driven Jake too-willingly agrees to follow Swede’s mysterious and beautiful sister, Christina, on a search to clear her brother’s name. Their odyssey takes them from the canyons of Manhattan to the heart of darkness itself, enlisting the help of colorful characters and dodging death every step of the way.
But is the alluring Christina the loving sister she appears to be, or evil incarnate? The body of a woman discovered in Jake’s East Side apartment and her killer’s ritualistically brutal M.O. lead NYPD homicide cop Pat Garodnik to suspect the latter.
Combining his efforts with those of Jake’s mother — a former DA with enemies on both sides of the law — the pair embark on an odyssey of their own, going to any lengths necessary, legal or otherwise, to find the truth and save Jake before his time runs out.
Literary and atmospheric, Dom Stasi’s debut thriller will have you listening late into the night with its high-flying action and intriguing mystery. As answers continue to be uncovered, the final pieces of the puzzle are as shocking as they are satisfying.

His mother, a former attorney of some influence, is also caught up in the drama, trying to find her son, and clear his name.
Off course, the bad guys will stop at nothing to get what they want. So, the body count climbs, as our hero tries to assist his former comrades sister.
I always feel the audiobooks add more to my reading experience. I admired the narrator's ability to use female and male voices in various nationalities, adding greater depth to the tale.
Shows what a mother's faith will do!

Strong characters.
Fast paced plot.
Action. Lots of action.
Family ties.
International criminals.
This will make a great movie one day.
I especially liked the part when the perspective changed from our protagonist to well... I won’t say who and spoil it. Didn’t see that coming, but there was foreshadowing of it.
This one is going in the relisten list!!

I really enjoyed it, it was fast-paced, entertaining and full of suspense, with convergent storylines that kept me guessing until the end what really was going on.
Bill Nevitt keep me listening for over 11 hours, amazing me with his ability to use female and male voices from different nationalities and with different accents. Not an easy task *laughs*
In short, if you enjoy books with non-stop action and non-linear plots, this is for you.
Really good

Christina Bergstrom, Leif’s younger sister, teams up with Jake to get some answers. Neither believes Leif would have been part of a drug smuggling operation. Things ramp up when Jake’s current lady friend (with benefits) turns up dead and the police start looking into it. Jake and Christina follow one clue after another, finding an interesting assortment of allies and villains. From high up in the sky to deep under water, this tale has a lot of action. And yet, it was just so-so for me. There’s some cliched characters, cliched situations, cliched lines. Those things made the plot a bit predictable.
The ladies were typically described by their looks first, second, and third… and eventually get some skills. The instant attraction between Jake and Christina felt forced by the plot. Christina spends a lot of time being emotional – weeping, screaming, hysterical, etc. I would have liked more from the ladies for a modern-day thriller.
Over all, the ending gives us a satisfying ending to the tale. And I liked that there’s a bit of a mystery surrounding Christina left unresolved. Could be a good leaping off point for a great story featuring Christina as a skilled assassin with acting skills or some such. 3/5 stars.
The Narration: Bill Nevitt made a good Jake Silver, pilot and hero. For the most part, he had unique voices for all the characters though his female voices could use some femininity and realism. They sometimes sounded a little cartoony and often over emotional whether they were written that way or not. His foreign accents were hit and miss. He had a few ways of pronouncing the name Leif. Also, his native accent for the word ‘radiator’ showed through no matter which character was saying it. Otherwise, the pacing was good. There were no tech issues with the recording. 3/5 stars.
I received a free copy of this book. My opinions are 100% my own.
OK. A little dated with slang, etc.
