***NOMINATED FOR AN EDGAR AWARD***

In the midst of substantial personal loss and scandal, six-foot-six Gunsten Søren Pedersen, the Detroit Tigers’ worshipped, veteran fence-swinger, walked away from his career and sport that he loved. Retiring to the tranquil solitude of Minnesota’s North Woods, disgraced, Gun left behind disappointed fans and searing press coverage. But a millionaire real estate investor is out to tear up Gun’s new turf. Loon Country Attractions, to be built on Gun’s piece of paradise, comes replete with an amusement park, convention center, and shopping super-center—with vast environmental degradation to boot. The townsfolk are divided, and Gun is further pulled into the center of the chaos when his daughter becomes pawn in a political campaign that’s turned ugly. Gun seizes the opportunity for redemption, fighting for everything that he holds dear. Fans of Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Craig Johnson's Longmire, and Nevada Barr's Anna Pigeon, enjoy the Engers' Gun Pedersen.

***PRAISE FOR THE GUN PEDERSEN SERIES***

COMEBACK:

“A well-written, fast-reading thriller. . . . It’s got everything.”
—Minneapolis St. Paul Magazine

“Comeback is so good, you want to sit down and read it all at once. It’s got love and shame and money and the Minnesota woods and lakes, and dark mystery, and a reluctant hero, and it’s written with humor and passion.”
—Garrison Keillor

SWING:

“Solidly entertaining.”
—ALA Booklist

“In Swing, the plot twists as unpredictably as a hangman’s rope. Swing has muscle (and heart, too).”
—Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine

“[A] sure hit.”
—R.D. Zimmerman, author of Deadfall in Berlin

STRIKE:

“Compelling.”
—Publishers Weekly

SACRIFICE:

“Sacrifice is the best novel I’ve read this year. Not just the best mystery, but the best novel, period.”

“[A] revelation . . .”
—Booklist Mystery, Thriller & Suspense Exciting Action & Adventure Mystery Private Investigators Witty Heartfelt

This might be a good story, but the narration was so flat it put me to sleep. Drone, drone on! And when two characters were conversing on the phone you couldn’t even tell which one was talking! Thumbs down!

The AI reader was absolutely terrible . I will never purchase another book that uses AI.

EXTREMELY HARD TO FOLLOW STORY. Narration mispronounces words. SENTENCES RUN together. WRONG ACCENT FOR A NORTHERN MI AND MN WHITE GUY!!!!

ENTIRE SERIES RUINED BY AI

I can't tell if this is a good book because the narration is ruining it. Its unclear to me if the narrator is a person or AI, but either way, it's by far the worst I've experienced on audible. Monotoned and flavorless, this feels more like someone reading me the back of a spagetti-o's can and pronouncing all the words as boringly as possible than it does a novel. If it's AI, find a better bot. If it's a person, find him a new gig because reading books for a living shouldn't sound like it hurts. I've never paid attention to the narrator before for the most part. I've liked some more than others, but now I will avoid whoever this is unless for some reason I want the listening experience to be more painful than not. Wow.
