About this listen

Sometimes, the most dangerous animals are the ones you let inside.

When a man hires Emery Hazard to track down a teenager who, he claims, robbed him, Hazard isn’t convinced. The story has holes in it, and the client seems eager—too eager—to keep the authorities from getting involved. But Hazard is willing to play along; he suspects something much darker is going on, and he wants to know what it is.

Then his husband, John-Henry Somerset, connects the boy in question to an ongoing suspicious death investigation, and both men realize they’ve stumbled upon something much more complicated. There are too many loose threads: missing money, stolen jewelry, a husband back from the dead, and a string of violent assaults on men paying for sex. And there are too many people with their own agendas.

After Hazard’s client turns up dead, though, the pressure is on. The killer isn’t done yet, and the closer Hazard and Somers come to unearthing the connection between the victims, the greater the danger. They find themselves in a race to uncover the truth before another victim is claimed—and, if Somers is really lucky, in time for him to plan the perfect Valentine’s Day.

Utterly devastating yet so compelling!

PI Emery Hazard is hired to find an underage teen by a client who is obviously not feeling the truth—Hazard suspects paedophilia. Hazard’s husband, Wahredua Police Chief John Henry Somerset, presides over an increasingly dysfunctional local force and the call out to the murder of an aggressive woman only intensifies the problems. Meanwhile, Hazard and Somers’ adopted son, Colt, has fallen out with his BFF Ashley, Hazard is in full protective papa bear mode, and Colt’s new friends are emboldening Colt’s anti-authority behaviours.

Phew! Once again, Gregory Ashe has written an overwhelmingly unsettling, yet completely compelling murder-mystery / family drama! He relentlessly pushes Somers to breaking point as John juggles poor police behaviours, pressure from his father, the Mayor, aggression from and between Colt and Hazard, and the lure of drinking himself to sweet oblivion. Ashe digs such deep and devastating holes that it’s always hard to believe it when things eventually take a positive turn. I’m such an emotional wreck as we spiral down, I wonder how much more I can take, but I keep coming back for more! US voice artist Tristan James has won me over with these audio series, he gets the emotion just right!

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
