About this listen
Earl Swagger is tough as hell. But even tough guys have their secrets. Plagued by the memory of his abusive father, apprehensive about his own impending parenthood, Earl is a decorated ex-Marine of absolute integrity — and overwhelming melancholy. Now he’s about to face his biggest, bloodiest challenge yet. It is the summer of 1946, organized crime’s garish golden age, when American justice seems to have gone to seed for good. Nowhere is this more true than in Hot Springs, Arkansas, the reigning capital of corruption. When the district attorney vows to bring down the mob, Earl is recruited to run the show. As casino raids erupt into nerve-shattering combat amid screaming prostitutes and fleeing johns, the body count mounts — along with the suspense.

Story
Lamar Pye has escaped from Oklahoma State Penitentiary, accompanied by his idiot cousin and a vicious but cowardly artist. To have stayed in prison was certain death, but his chances on the outside are not much greater: his excesses know no bounds - one killing follows another. But one murder brings his nemesis upon him: Bud Pewtie of the Highway Patrol loses his partner in a blood-soaked shoot-out with Lamar, and from that moment on, nothing will stop him from getting even.

While there, he’s brutally assaulted by a madman involved in a nearby narcotics ring. The ring plans to spread its new drug to the residents of the disenfranchised 7th District of Chicago and to make matters worse, this is no ordinary drug—it makes some users happy, drives others insane, and kills many of the rest.

In the fall of 1888, Jack the Ripper slaughtered five prostitutes in London's seamy Whitechapel District. He did not just kill - he ripped with a butcher's glee - and then, after the particularly gruesome slaying of Mary Jane Kelly, he disappeared. For 127 years, Jack has haunted the dark corners of our imagination, the paradigm of the psychotic killer. We remember him not only for his crimes, but because, despite one of the biggest dragnets in London history, he was never caught.

No, because I would be embarrassed to admit how much I like it.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Hot Springs?
Cowboy justice, revenge, gunplay. Don't remember them, but they must have all been there.

GREAT HISTORICAL ACTION!
Love this audiobook, so looking forward to the rest of the series! Great characters, great narration, and insightful historical figures and events included to give a vivid picture of the late 1940's. I can't wait to download book 2!

Good start to a series
Where does Hot Springs rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It is a great book. Not the Best, definitely not the worst. Earl Swagger and DA are great characters.
Which character – as performed by Eric G. Dove – was your favorite?
Earl - D.A. - Owney Maddox
It took me a little while to get used to Eric G Dove. It started out sounding very staccato, and matter of fact but after a while it fell into a good groove. The matter of fact story telling fit the character so it began to meld. In the end, i was wrapped up in the story and in the voice.
Eric G Dove did a good job with the English Accent on Owney as well.

I listened to the Bobby Lee books
Circling back to the Earl Swagger series. I listened to the Bobby Lee Swagger series and learned about the Earl Swagger books after that.

The era of illegal gambling
It’s the end of the WW2 and Earl Swagger has received a medal for his service and is trying to figure out the future with his pregnant wife. Illegal gambling has taken a toehold in Hot Springs, AK and the lead prosecutor intends to put an end to it. Enter Earl…he is hired to train a team of law enforcement officers who will take on the task. But putting an end to easy money for the mob will create enemies. Will Earl survive to see the birth of his son?
Good story. My only dislike was the use of the ‘N’ word to describe people of color.
Great narration.
