John Sandford Dead Watch 9 CDs (unabridged)

Reader: Richard Feronne

This is the first instalment of a new series by the author of the Prey series.

Early morning, Virginia, and a woman is on the run. Her husband, a former US Senator, has been missing for days. Kidnapped? Murdered? She doesn't know, but she thinks she knows who's involved, and why. And that she's next. Hours later in Washington DC, a mobile phone rings. The White House chief of staff needs Jake Winter NOW. His chief investigator and an Army Intelligence veteran, Winter knows how to move quickly and decisively, but he's never faced a problem like this. The disappearances are bad, but when the blackened body shows up barb-wired to a tree, Winter knows there is much worse to come. Large forces are at work, determined to do whatever it takes to achieve their ends. Winter will have to use all his resources not only to prevail, but to survive. The safety of the nation depends on it ...

Our review: Initially I missed Lucas Davenport. Aside from anything else, I associate Ricard Ferrone's voice with the superb Prey series. But as the plot unravels and as we get to know Jake, I stopped missing Lucas Davenport quite so much. Whether this series will become as successful as the Prey novels, only time will tell, but it's a fine start.
