 The fifth Ryan Lock novel from best-selling author Sean Black. When college basketball coach Malik Shaw goes missing after a family tragedy, it looks like just another retired athlete gone off the rails. But Malik's childhood friend, private security specialist Ty Johnson, quickly begins to suspect that there is more to it. Chasing the truth, Ty and his business partner, Ryan Lock, begin to uncover a sinister conspiracy of silence in a sleepy Minnesota college town.

I will not be continuing listening to this series with grant as the narrator. It was the hardest thing to listen to with him reading it. Bring back Jeff Harding.

Also the book didn’t focus on Ryan Lock at all (the whole point for reading this series) and we didn’t even get to Ryan till 2 and a half hours in to the book.

First books were good but this one was a bitter disappointment
