About this listen

A long summer has kept Jimmy McSwain away from the city he loves, uncertain of what the future holds. But upon his return, tomorrow quickly becomes a deadly today.

Jimmy has often done work for his sister Mallory's law firm, and this time, the new partner and his handsome associate want to hire Jimmy to solve the mystery of twin brothers. One of the twins lies in a coma, while the other has gone missing. Aiding Jimmy in this confusing case is Brenden Hendricks, the young lawyer who just happens to have a strong attraction to Jimmy.

Meanwhile, there's Jimmy's lingering obsession with the criminal mastermind Mr. Wu-Tin. Jimmy is determined to bring him down, and the NYPD knows that. Brought in to assist the Special Task Force, Jimmy feels he's being manipulated, but this is his best lead yet. The problem is his partner assigned to the case: his ex, Francis X. Frisano. Soon Jimmy and Frisano are setting traps for Wu-Tin, even as the cornered man is setting his empire ablaze.

Complex, confounding, the duality in his life will test more than Jimmy's loyalty, it could rock his very foundation. Deep down he knows that by solving both cases, he's got a second shot at a new life.

Gripping but plot holes & cliffhanger unsatisfying

Perennially troubled NY PI Jimmy McSwain is juggling two vexing cases. The first involves manipulative twin brothers and a fortune which can only be inherited by one of them. The other case involves his nemesis, Asian mobster Mr Wu-Tin, and requires Jimmy to work closely with his ex-lover, Frank Frisano. The premise was great but I felt that Jimmy made some uncharacteristically poor choices and I was being asked to suspend too much logic and credibility in both cases. I also didn’t enjoy the huge cliffhanger, why can’t Jimmy’s stories end on happy notes? It’s been nearly two years since this was released, I’m worried that a resolution won’t appear any time soon. Joel Leslie narrates the audiobook with his usual polish and skill.
