Publisher's Summary
“One of America’s greatest storytellers.” (Stephen King)
Neal Carey is not your usual private eye. A graduate student at Columbia University, he grew up on the streets of New York, usually on the wrong side of the law. Then he met a PI who introduced him to the Bank, an exclusive institution with a sideline in keeping its wealthy clients happy and out of trouble. They pay Neal’s college tuition, and Neal gets an education that can’t be found in any textbook, from learning how to trail a suspect to mastering the proper way to search a room.
Now it’s payback time. The Bank wants Neal to put his skills to work in finding Allie Chase, the rebellious teenage daughter of a prominent senator. The problem is that she’s gone underground in the London punk scene. To get her back, Neal has to follow her into a violent netherworld where drugs run rampant and rage is the name of the game.

So good
Don Winslow is my favourite author in the crime/action/thriller genre. This book would've been a page turner, but I listened to it so it was something along the same lines. The narration suited the book and the characters as well.

A cool story
A terrific story with lots of great characters. The back stories of the characters are very well setup and the many sub plots are effortlessly interwoven. I'm looking forward to reading more of Don Winslow's stories.

1st book by author could not put down
The story the narration the characters all sublime. Twists turn evocative descriptions I felt like I was back living in London what a great character Neal is. I’m having trouble sourcing his next book though

don't bother!
The most boring Audible book ever! minimum action sequences followed by monotonous 'story telling' with repetitious details of nothing interesting. The same narration with no other 'voice' part characters, over the passage of time. utter boring diatribe until I couldn't listen to anymore!!!
