Summary

Former FBI agent Sean Kruger has reconciled with his forced retirement and moved on to join his friends Sandy Knoll and Jimmie Gibbs in their private defense contractor firm. He is now in high demand as a fraud investigator.

When two insurance executives make a surprise visit to Kruger’s home office, he is asked to look into the disappearance of a 150-million-dollar diamond display from a museum in Chicago. Clues are non-existent, but with the help of JR Diminski, Kruger soon learns there is more to the theft than just the value of the diamonds. As the evidence unfolds, he will cross paths with one of the most ominous psychopaths he has ever encountered. A man totally uninhibited by the norms of society and hell-bent on becoming the richest man in the world. Regardless of who gets in his way.

Filled with well-crafted characters and ruthless adversaries, The Ominous Trail may be the best Sean Kruger story to date. Don’t start this book late at night…if you want to sleep.

I’m thoroughly enjoying the Sean Kruger series. Having just finished book seven and about to begin the eighth on audiobook, I can confidently say this series continues to deliver with every installment.JC Fields masterfully blends action, adventure, mystery, intrigue, and suspense into stories that are consistently engaging and hard to put down. The character dynamics are especially compelling. The interactions between the characters feel natural and add real depth to the narrative. What I appreciate most is how the plot continually keeps you guessing; just when you think you’ve figured things out, an unexpected twist pulls you right back in and leaves you eager for more. The narrator does an excellent job of bringing the characters to life, adding another layer of immersion to an already captivating series.
