Narrators Almarie Guerra and Feodor Chin reunite to bring the second installment in the Daniela Vega series to life. FBI agent Dani Vega emerges as a female counterpart to author Lee Child's hero Jack Reacher--savvy, justice driven, and a military-trained fighting machine. The narrative delves into Vega's past, recounting the haunting discovery of her father's murder when she was 17. Now, a decade later, Vega is compelled to unearth the truth about the murder and, utilizing her keen pattern-analysis skills, apprehend a serial killer. Guerra excels in portraying Vega, particularly her family dynamics and professional interactions, while Chin adeptly voices the chilling perspective of the deranged serial killer. With relentless action, this gripping mystery will captivate listeners from start to finish.

A master crime writer is paired with a narrator at the top of his game.
Narrator Will Damron returns to masterfully deliver this second installment of the Catalina series. As the audiobook kicks off, listeners are immediately drawn into a supposed smuggling drop at a remote airport in the Catalina hills. After the fallout from the airport operation, Detective Sergeant Stilwell, frustrated to be sidelined, focuses on a cold case that has him partnering with a crossover character from Connelly's other series, detective Renée Ballard. Fans will be delighted by the cameo appearance of Harry Bosch. Damron expertly differentiates the many characters, male and female, and powerfully ratchets up the tension.

Listeners will be convinced that they’re listening to a full-cast performance.
Narrator January LaVoy is truly a vocal shape-shifter. She skillfully voices female and male characters of all ages and ethnicities in this thriller. A man desperately searching for his teenage daughter approaches journalist Cindy Thomas to enlist her help. Meanwhile, detective Lindsay Boxer is investigating the recent murders of several young women, leading her into the dark world of human trafficking. As with the previous books in this series, the pace is high-speed, and chapters alternate among multiple points of view. Thanks to LaVoy's ability to differentiate the numerous characters, listeners will track the plotlines as they twist and turn and as each member of the Murder Club shares their professional and personal lives.
