Publisher's summary

In New York Times best-selling author Joseph Finder's electrifying new thriller, private investigator Nick Heller infiltrates a powerful wealthy family hiding something sinister.

Nick Heller is at the top of his game when he receives some devastating news: His old army buddy, Sean, has died of an overdose. Sean, who once saved Nick’s life, got addicted to opioids after returning home wounded from war.

Then, at Sean’s funeral, a stranger approaches Nick with a job, and maybe also a way for Nick to hold someone accountable.

The woman is the daughter of a pharmaceutical kingpin worth billions. Now, she wants to become a whistleblower, exposing her father and his company for burying evidence that its biggest money-maker was dangerously addictive. It was a lie that killed hundreds of thousands of people, including Sean.

All Nick has to do is find the document that proves the family knew the drug’s dangers. But Nick soon realizes that the sins of the patriarch are just the beginning.

Beneath the surface are barely concealed cabals and conspiracies: a twisting story of family intrigue and lethal corporate machinations. In a deadly game of chess that pits Nick against a family dynasty, against brothers and sisters with schemes of their own, Nick learns how far his enemy is willing to go to protect its name and its wealth.

Critic reviews

"Joseph Finder is incapable of writing a bad thriller. I’d follow Nick Heller anywhere." (C. J. Box, number-one New York Times best-selling author of Long Range)

"Finder is a master of the narrow escape...Finder’s characterization of Heller gets more layered with every installment. The way Heller moves through the mystery, using social skills, street smarts, and technology to get in and out of trouble, is breathtaking. Excruciating suspense." (Booklist)

"Fans of timely, thoughtful page-turners will be richly rewarded." (Publishers Weekly)

Boring

This novel is a long drawn out slow moving detective novel involving characters I found hard to like or care about.
Narration was weak. Many different voices sounded the same.

I Hope Finder Keeps ‘‘em Coming!

Nicely detailed story designed to keep the reader/listener wondering. Good characters, even if they aren’t all likeable.

Great listening!

This was a new author for me and I really enjoyed this book. I didn't want to stop listening to it. Great book! I didn't guess who was the killer.

pulled me right in

Was looking for a good mystery book to listen to while at work and found this book. Didn't have high hopes for it as I thought it would be a long boring story, but I found my self pulled right into the story until the last second. There were a few times when I realized that I had stopped working and fully part of the story. Ill probably go back and read his other books now.
