About this listen

Justice isn't always black or white. Sometimes it's cold and dark.

Former CIA assassin Alex Parker works for The Gateway Project, a clandestine government organization hell-bent on taking out serial killers and pedophiles before they enter the justice system. Alex doesn't enjoy killing, but he's damn good at it. He's good at dodging the law, too--until a beautiful rookie agent has him wondering what it might be like to get caught.

FBI Special Agent Mallory Rooney has spent years hunting the lowlife who abducted her identical twin sister eighteen years ago. Now, during an on-going serial killer investigation, Mallory begins to suspect there's a vigilante operating outside the law. She has no choice but to take him down, because murder isn't justice. Is it?

When Mallory starts asking questions, The Gateway Project management starts to sweat, and orders Alex to watch her. As soon as they meet, the two begin to fall in love. But the lies and betrayals that define Alex's life threaten to destroy them both - especially when the man who stole her sister all those years ago makes Mallory his next target, and Alex must reveal his true identity to save the woman he loves.

The story is fabulous. Great plot, lots of suspense, really likeable characters.

I don't like the narrator and I'm a bit bemused at all the great reviews. I found his voice soporific. I had to really concentrate to keep up with the story. There is no dramatic timing. I cannot tell the difference between characters other than male and female. In a conversation between two male characters, I lose track of who's talking very quickly and often have to rewind to make sure I know what's going on. Having listened to a dozen different narrators now, this one ranks near the bottom. Sorry.

Great story, not so great narration

A master-class in stating the obvious, with a cliche in every paragraph. The author assumes readers have the IQ of an amoeba. should be classed as humour.

so bad it's funny

The premise was ridiculous, the suspense was quite ordinary, and character development lacked depth. Further the attempt at technological masking for tracking and surveillance was immature. I regret the whole thing told, didn’t show so it was tedious. What I liked was, um, the pace.

How can this be popular?
