Narrators Almarie Guerra and Feodor Chin find FBI agent and former military code breaker Dani Vega up to her neck in trouble as hit man Gustavo Toro dies in her arms in a botched sting operation. Toro has left behind an "if you're watching this, I'm dead" video and a list of cryptic clues implicating a mysterious mastermind who's been operating in the shadows for decades. Guerra portrays Dani as having a sharp mind and a hard-edged personality. Chin takes his turn, adding a sly tone and a ring of truth as the twisty plot unfolds. Bestselling author Maldonado, a former law enforcement officer, lends authenticity as she takes listeners on a cross-country chase with colorful, clever characters and a surprise at the end.

C.J. Box writes about life in wild Wyoming, short stories of people living a rugged life by choice or by circumstance. David Chandler narrates in a rough-edged whiskey voice that suggests summer heat, bitter winters, and windswept prairies, guiding the listener through 10 adventures of men like Fish and Game Officer Joe Pickett. Chandler brings the listener into this strange world where, more often than not, men have to create their own justice. His performance of the economical stories, some rarely seen, is perfect. The tale of the frozen body of a Native American basketball player turned speed freak, her arm reaching through the ice of a lake in a final jump shot, is one of the most fascinating in the collection.

Rubinstein’s polished narration keeps the listener fully engaged right through to the thrilling end.
John Rubinstein returns in this latest installment of Kellerman’s long-running series. LA homicide detective Milo Sturgis is investigating the death of a former colleague. When it starts to turn into “one of those cases,” Milo calls in friend and psychologist Alex Delaware to provide his unique insights. Rubinstein’s talents are fully on display as he creates highly likable and believable characters in Milo and Alex. His warm narration style is balanced with perfect timing, which allows the tension to build as the plot twists to its conclusion while also letting the wry humor shine.
