    About this audiobook

    For fans of Michael Connelly and CJ Box, the third thrilling novel in the Charlie Hood series from New York Times bestseller and Edgar-award winner T. Jefferson Parker, author of The Room of White Fire.

    Along the U.S./Mexico border, a man named Finnegan wakes up in the border-town of Buenavista after a hit and run-eerily aware of events he should know nothing about, $90,000 richer, and with Charlie Hood’s name and address in his wallet.

    Meanwhile when tracking the flow of illegal guns into Mexico, Hood’s team accidentally kills the son of Benjamin Armenta, head of the Gulf Cartel and one of the most violent men in the world. Now, Hood must work to grasp the enigmatic forces fighting for control of Buenavista—forces that circle back to Finnegan, and to Armenta’s unstoppable plan for brutal vengeance.

      This is audio book I picked up randomly at the library and my first exposure to T. Jefferson Parker. I started it three times because I just wasn't into it. Not sure if it was the writing or the narration. But the third time, I really liked it! Now that I know it's part of a series featuring Charlie Hood, I'll look for others. The book opens with a man being hit by a car while changing his tire on the side of the road. He's flung into the desert and is eventually rescued and hospitalized in Buenavista near the U.S./Mexico border.Charlie Hood, ATF agent, is part of a stakeout team who kills a bystander during an operation gone wrong. Sadly, the young man gunned down is the son of the head of the Gulf Cartel, one of the world's most violent men. He retaliates by sending his forces across the border and kidnapping one of Charlie's team members. The U.S. won't start a war for one man, even if Mexicans illegally entered the country to kidnap an American citizen. And the Mexican government is hands-off because the crime was committed by the cartel.While the drugs/arms/war drums beat, Charlie visits Mike Finnegan, the man who was hit in the dessert. Finnegan has an eerie ability to know about things he shouldn't, like details from the ATF investigation and kidnapping. This keeps Charlie coming back to discover who this strange man is.Although I liked the plot, I'm not sure how much I actually liked Charlie Hood. He kind of had a flat affect. But I'm definitely looking for another title. David Colacci narrates the book.

      You really have to like guns to read this. The story is sound - Mexican border gun fights with gangs is really bad and this shows us how bad. Charlie has the same characters from other books.
