About this listen

Leland

Life is normal…suspiciously normal.

During my long, lonely years as a hitman, I never realized that one day, I would have a family to call my own.

Now, instead of stalking my targets and taking down people with a flick of my wrist, my specialties lie in things like planning sleepovers (why does Waylon look terrified?), The Fence hour (those are screams of joy), and involving others to help our child succeed (no, of course I didn’t abduct anyone).

But for a guy like me, things can’t stay good for too long. Someone seems to think that I should still be the ruthless hitman I used to be. They want to draw me back into the limelight and prove to me that what I’m living now is a lie.

But they don’t realize how much they’re going to regret meeting the Sandman–especially once they threatened my family.

Jackson

This person seems to be obsessed with an image of Leland from the past, and because of it, we now have a crime boss on our tail and a bounty on Leland’s head. The stalker has no idea that Leland comes with multiple ex-assassins, a sketchy Scotsman, and the chief of police who likes to pretend he doesn’t want to be involved.

I adore my life with Leland just the way it is (someone, please burn down The Fence), and no one is going to ruin that (I will pay well).

They’d better be afraid to sleep because the Sandman is coming (and if they took down The Fence while they were at it, I wouldn’t mind).

I was thrilled to hear that we were heading back to the world of Leland and Jackson (and all the rest). I have loved each of these books from the first and this one is epic. The interesting thing about this one is that it literally involves all of the characters from previous stories and somehow is able to make that all look quite normal. Well as normal as anything that involves Leland. In this one there is a threat to Leland's family from a twisted corner of his past life. A credible threat that also threatens Weyland's friend Cam. Through this threat Leland discovers that Cam's mother also has a past, and the scene in the kitchen as they stalk around each other with knoves and guns without anyone else in the family knowing is the best ever. Love this book. There is too much in it to cover it all other than to say it is brilliant.
Michael Ferraiuolo breaths life into these books. I cannot imagine them with out him.

Great to be back in Lelands twisted world!
