Publisher's summary

In the year 2000, private investigator Peter Andrassy, a native Hungarian and retired NYC detective, may abandon investigatory work. Since moving back to Budapest, he’s struggled to find new clients and believes technology has passed him by. Stephen Nagy, an American student attending an international business school in Budapest, tells Peter he met a stunning student from Britain named Samantha. Bold and confident, she’s everything that Stephen is not, and he thinks it might be love. But after their third date, she stopped attending class, and he’s desperate to know why.

Stephen tries to hire Peter, who is hesitant to take the case, worrying it may reveal skeletons from his past. Eventually, Peter agrees but quickly becomes frustrated by how little Stephen seems to know about the woman he claims to love. The case takes a turn when Peter realizes her disappearance may be connected with an infidelity case he is simultaneously working. Is Samantha the woman Stephen thinks she is? Peter may have to risk his life to find out.

Compelling. I couldn’t stop listening.

This book kept getting better and better. I would plan on listening till the end of the chapter and find myself not being able to wait to continue . The characters were compelling and interesting. The villain was truly frightening. I can’t wait to listen to the next book. I hope DJ Maughn continues to write. Looks like he has a great future ahead of him.

Fantastic, unique and captivating story

I really enjoyed this audiobook. It’s a unique storyline and the narrator does such a great job reading in a Hungarian accent with different voices of each character. I can’t wait to listen to the whole series.

A Thrilling Read

My husband and I just finished listening to this book. We really enjoyed it. We enjoyed the pacing and mystery. We liked that Dave wrote it with enough detail to make it interesting without it being graphic, lewd or lots of language. His descriptions of the city made us want to visit there. We really enjoyed that the story was set in a place we don't usually read about. It made us want to learn more about Budapest. We enjoyed the subtle hints to a surprise ending. We have listened to several books with Kirby as the reader and always enjoyed his performance. Kirby's performance on this book was also great. We think this is a great first book and highly recommend it!
