About this listen

Earl Swagger is tough as hell. But even tough guys have their secrets. Plagued by the memory of his abusive father, apprehensive about his own impending parenthood, Earl is a decorated ex-Marine of absolute integrity — and overwhelming melancholy. Now he’s about to face his biggest, bloodiest challenge yet. It is the summer of 1946, organized crime’s garish golden age, when American justice seems to have gone to seed for good. Nowhere is this more true than in Hot Springs, Arkansas, the reigning capital of corruption. When the district attorney vows to bring down the mob, Earl is recruited to run the show. As casino raids erupt into nerve-shattering combat amid screaming prostitutes and fleeing johns, the body count mounts — along with the suspense.

Having listened to, and enjoyed many of the Bob Lee series, I looked forward to this. I loved the way Mr. Hunter weaved actual gangster figures into the storyline. The story is fast paced, immersive and, to use a British word, 'moreish'.

I heartily recommend this Audible book. The narrator does a wonderful job.

Absolutely brilliant!

To my British ears, the narrator brought the 1940s American South alive. The distinct difference in accents and dialects by the narrator felt like I was listening to a play with several narrators instead of just the one. Earl and Bobby Lee - fantastic creations.

A brilliant storyline with great narration.
