Publisher's Summary
Publishers Note: Listening order. To heighten your enjoyment of Jack and Ethan's developing relationship, please listen to the novellas Bargaining with the Devil, When the Devil Drives, and Devil in the Details before this audiobook. Thank you.
Jack Reardon uncovers secrets for a living, and the Meta-State spy is pretty good at it. Or rather he thought so until he met Ethan Blade—assassin, warrior, enigma. The unlikely pair have decided to give living together a shot, but Jack's not entirely certain what he's gotten himself into—or exactly who he's in it with. Jack's worries are compounded when he's assigned to a police strike force hunting a serial killer. With each new puzzle piece, Jack considers the true nature of a serial killer—and how similar it is to an assassin...one particular assassin who's having trouble adjusting to retirement. Jack's unsure how to help Ethan; or if he even can.
When the killer strikes close to home, Jack must race against the clock to stop another murder, despite the price someone has put on his head. Could the matters be connected? Is a certain assassin at the center of both? Surrounded by killers, the only one Jack wants near disappears, leaving Jack drowning in secrets. He'll have to do what he does best—unravel the secrets, including Ethan's—to stop the killer and save the life he and Ethan have only just begun to build.

Great development of the story-world
Another fantastic entry in this ever complex story. This one spills all of Ethan's history a little at a time and sets the story-world on a strong footing for future stories. Jack, as ever is a likeable rogue who learns to finally trust Ethan in the end, just as Ethan learns what he actually wants.
The connections with other assassins and a job gone right, but which ends up going wrong is engaging and a great listen.
Rowan Scott gives another fine performance, even when one phrase he mis-pronounces exposes him as not Australian. Very good job otherwise. (Bath in Bathurst as in Bath UK, rather than Bath as in bathroom). Pedantic for sure.
