À propos de cet audio

In this twisty, fast-paced thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Find You First and Take Your Breath Away, a man desperately tries to track down his father—who was taken into witness protection years ago—before his enemies can get to him.

Your dad’s not a good person. Your dad killed people, son.

These are some of the last words Jack Givins’ father spoke to him before he was whisked away by witness protection, leaving Jack and his mother to pick up the shattered pieces of their lives as best they could.

Years later, Jack is a grown man with problems of his own. He’s a talented but struggling author, barely scraping by on the royalties from his moderately successful first book. So when the U.S. Marshals approach him with a lucrative opportunity, he’s in no position to turn them down. They’re recruiting writers like Jack to create false histories for people in witness protection—people like Jack’s father.

The coincidence is astonishing to Jack at first, but he soon realizes this may be a chance to find his dad. Only there’s one problem—Jack’s father hasn’t made contact with his handlers recently, and they have no idea where he is. He could be in serious danger, and Jack may be the only one who can find him.

But how will he find a man he’s never truly known? A man who has done terrible things in his lifetime and made some deadly enemies in the process—enemies who wouldn’t think twice about using his own son against him.

Keeps one guessing for a while, but becomes a touch overwrought, a touch predictable toward the end.
Well worth the time spent, but ever so slightly "time to wrap it up" before it actually wraps up.
A slightly tighter edit would have left, at least this listener, a little less impatient for a conclusion, a little less impatient with some of the peripheral tangents that subtracted rather than added to the suspense and the pace.
Still recommendable; still enjoyable; still nicely done.

Good listen, well performed

I am hooked on the books. Each one has multiple characters that are surprising and so well developed one can almost see them. was not to crazy with this particular narration but it was not enough to be off-putting. I recommend this book 📖 ❤️❤️

Another great from Barclay

Enjoyed this. A great book and the narrator was really easy to listen to. It made the book one that I was reluctant to pause, I
finished it so fast but now I’m sad it’s over.

Great story

I loved this book. It was a perfect listen. Narrator was excellent, story was interesting and had just enough twists to keep me engaged but not so many that I felt like I was reading a ridiculous Harlan Coben story.

Best Linwood Barclay so far

Once again, Linwood has com through. This wonderful author never disappoints. The wait was worthwhile…

Just great!

Just another good ride with this author. Having read most of his books as they are reliably entertaining, always well written and performed. Story has a few holes in it but not enough to distract.

A good read
