About this listen

"Witty, gritty, and full of heart." (Nick Atlas, author of The Light Travelers)

After his brothers are murdered, a New York mob lawyer testifies against his associates and is forced to enter WITSEC (the Witness Protection Program). He and his wife are relocated to a rural area outside a small town in Colorado, where he is compelled to adapt to his new life under the constant threat of mafia reprisal. Reflexively resisting his immersion into all things country, this life-long city boy meets and adopts a loquacious mule and befriends his closest neighbors, who have even greater secrets to conceal.

A renegade US Marshall, a lesbian couple that includes a powerful psychic-medium-witch and an ex-army ranger complete his new circle of friends. When the mob associates are released due to the lawyer's intentionally prejudicial testimony at trial, they come gunning for him before the retrial can occur.

When wise guys meet the wise ass and friends, all hell breaks loose.

masterpiece of fun

such a fun trilogy. I laughed, I cried (well felt sad anyway) and loved the way the author seamlessly wove in real world events into a great story. loved it, sad it ended.

variety of characters

beginning up until the witness protection relocation seemed too long and repetitive. I think I would rather like to read this.

Fun!

This story was strange and delightful! I loved the pace, the characters and the change in the lead character's life and "friends." Thanks!

Thoroughly enjoyable

A wonderful book that took me on a journey of the imagination. These characters are each so memorable as we get to know so many details about them and who they are in an easy descriptive way. TOM MCCAFFREY has such an eye for detail. The characters of the book kept coming to mind for weeks after the meeting. Wonderful go enjoy it!

Not what I expected but fun.

I was expecting another mob story. This has enough funny turns to make me want to read the next one.
