His latest project is recovering a stolen necklace, which carries with it an ancient curse that may unleash a horde of Bengali demons. Jack is used to danger, but this time Gia's daughter Vicky is threatened. Can Jack overcome the curse of the yellow necklace and bring Vicky safely back home?

Read "Cold City" First.

Any additional comments?

I abandoned listening to this book on the first try because it did not hold my attention.

I have over 4,000 audio books and I was looking for more pure action and to be riveted right from the start.

After listening to "Cold City: A Repairman Jack Novel" the "Repairman Jack: Early Years" series I had a better foundation on the character.

LOVED this book on my second try. Story is a bit of a run-away train building speed.

To get the most out of this book listen to "Repairman Jack: Early Years", it is good.

If you like this book you might also like to try:
"The Cabinet of Curiosities" the 'Pendergast' series does not need to be read in any order.

"Fear Nothing" and other books by Dean Koontz.

I wasn't aware there were newer editions of this book

It seemed strange at the time that there would have possibly been a minor rewrite to have referenced an ipod, but it does make sense since it's meant to take place in modern day, though it was written originally on the 80's.

Great start for a series

First time reading a repairman Jack novel. Found it very good, and exciting. Joe Barrett is a great narrator. Worth the credit. If you liked death wish movie you will love this.

Nice update to an old favorite

I read this book when it was first published in 1985. I am a fan of F. P. Wilson and this one followed “The Keep”. I didn’t realize until the next book came along that this was part of a series and really knitted well.

This go around I see it had been updated to be a bit more contemporary. But nothing else was changed. I will have to listen to all of them now. Can’t wait for my next book.

Love this series.

I first read this book about 10yrs ago, travel a lot now and was glad to find audio copy. F. Paul Wilson is one of the greatest writers of thriller/scfi. I mean come on Stephen King is the unofficial president of his fan club.

A good story

I found the story entertaining. Unfortunately a little predictable. A horrible ending. Making the hero of the story a little stupid.

Full of suspense and intrigue

Love this book. I had read it many years ago and wanted to experience it again. It was as good the 2nd time as the 1st period it is full of mystery action and intrigue. A Holly recommended.

Jack!

My first Repairman Jack read. I didn't expect the supernatural twist, but found it engaging. Kind of like Preston's and Child's Aloysius Pendergast, the albino FBI agent.
