Summary

It’s winter in New York City, and Rufus O’Callaghan is trying to make things work. He’s still got his job as a confidential informant, and he’s still got Sam Auden. The ex-Army drifter has moved in with Rufus, and the two men are trying to build a lasting relationship as Sam struggles to find his footing in the city.

When Sam gets a call from a woman offering to sell him information about Project Stonefish, though, neither man knows what to make of it. Sam still has questions about the training operation that caused him to leave the Army—and that ended in the death of someone Sam cared about. And Rufus is all too aware that when it comes to Stonefish, Sam’s judgment might be in question.

Everything changes when Sam and Rufus learn that the woman who called Sam has died from a suspicious overdose—and that, before she died, she contacted someone else about Stonefish. Someone who wants Stonefish to stay buried in the past. Someone with the power—and the ruthlessness—to make sure it stays buried. And to learn the truth about what happened all those years ago, Sam and Rufus will have to place themselves in the crosshairs.

Sam and Rufus are once again in the midst of a mystery.
I love their snarky banter.
There's fast-paced action, danger and adventure.
While they're working to solve they mystery, they're also working gard individually and as a couple to recover from past trauma.
Garrett Kiesel did an amazing job narrating and bringing these characters to life.

Great addition to the series

Sam's past catches up to him in the worst way and Rufus and Sam chase down the leads to a government conspiracy.

The mystery was intriguing and fast-moving giving the story incredible momentum. At the heart of the story is the romance between Sam and Rufus navigating the baggage of both of their pasts. I love them both, so much, wily street rat Rufus and hardened veteran Sam, they just work together.

I enjoyed the narrator very much. the narrator can make or break an audio book for me and this one works really well, he gives each character a distinct voice and managed to capture the momentum of the story. Five stars all the way.

Excellent mystery - even better relatioship.

I love the writing of both of these authors individually, but writing together I find the stories hard to get into. Even though this is the third book I don't feel connected to the characters. It's unlikely I'll listen to any more of their co-writes.

I was given the audiobook as an advanced listener.

This book is best read if you have read the others in the series. I must say that I appreciate how Gregory Ashe features a central character in each book, while also allowing us to learn a bit about all the Last Picks.

This was Millie's story, and meeting her family explained why Millie is SO LOUD she wants to be heard. You also see the layers in her relationship with Keme and how hard they need to work to maintain it.

Although it is Millie's story, it is one of her brothers who is actually in trouble, and Millie asks Dash to investigate, putting herself forward as his sidekick.

How do you help people who can't help themselves? How far does being in your family force you to make rash decisions? Read on to see how that works out!

The last few chapters in this book are my favourite in the whole series, where much of being human is laid bare.

The audiobook was narrated by Andrew Gibson, whom I had not come across until this series, and he is now one of my favourite narrators. He adds something by making a real effort to make the characters distinct, and it feels like he is a real and caring observer in Hudson Rock. He captures my favourite chapters beautifully.

A friend indeed
