About this listen
Tick Tock, Tick Tock
He watched them, the anger building. This could not go on. He could not let it continue. He squeezed the handle of the knife, its blade honed razor sharp. The Quiet Man had been quiet too long.
Lead agent Don Trask of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has received a cryptic poem. His assistant thinks it may be related to a murder near the town of Little Falls in central Minnesota. Trask isn’t so sure. When a second poem arrives after another brutal murder, there is no longer a question and Trask heads to Little Falls to stop a killer before another poem can be written.
The Trask Brothers return in the eleventh installment of the highly rated murder mystery series.
Readers of Sanford, Connelly, Patterson, Child and alike will enjoy this gripping and fast-paced murder mystery detective thriller.
Praise from Trask Brothers readers:
"Fast and exciting. If you are a Sanford fan you will become a Nelson follower." - Mrs. M
"My first Nelson read. I'll be back for more." - Kindle Customer

"She was always afraid of you. Even today. Even on the day she might die." Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension agent Don Trask is jerked from a blissful fall weekend with his girlfriend, Lieutenant Melanie Jenkins of the Stillwater Police, when Jenkins’s sister is brutally attacked. The attack is a warning to Trask to stay out of the business of a mysterious leader of a drug ring known only as ‘Diablo’ and it tears apart the relationship of Trask and Jenkins.

Story
Missing girls, no one missed. A small town with big secrets. The snow was coming down hard now, but she couldn’t feel it on her cheeks, her face frozen. She was thirsty and tried to scoop some up to put in her mouth, but her hands no longer seemed to work and her arms would not move. Rest. She needed to rest. Just for a moment. Durant lay back and closed her eyes, and the snow began to cover her, a blanket too cold to help, but there was no energy left to fight the fatigue. The last thing she was aware of was an approaching sound, something she had heard before in the night—the howling ...

It was there, a fortune waiting for him to claim it. If he could stay alive. Sheriff Dave Trask studies the horribly disfigured body on the rocky shore of Lake Superior. The man is wearing a life jacket but there is no sign of his boat, his craft possibly lost in the storm the previous night. As events unfold, Trask begins to believe that the man may have been the victim of a hit and run on the lake, the possibility of finding the boat that killed the man slim to none. Then Trask discovers something more. The man belonged to an eccentric group, women and men who gather monthly to discuss ...

Big money. Sunken treasure. Drugs. And a trail of bodies, very clean bodies. The Trask brothers have their hands full.

A tangled Trask Brothers thriller you will want to read in one sitting. He knew. There was only a scrap of red material, but he knew. Don Trask, Lead Agent for the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, had no doubt what it was. For five years he had locked away the haunting memories associated with his most difficult case, the unsolved disappearance of a small girl. But now those memories had burst from their vault, and the nightmares that came with them were back. And then there was another, a young boy, and Trask knew who had done it. The same man who had taken the girl. The same man...

Very good story again kept me in suspense!
As always, I really don't like the virtual voice I would pay more to have some good voice actors. The stories are so good and well written it would just make them elevate. This was probably the most suspenseful one. So far it had a very unique story, which I appreciated.

Love the twisty mystery
I absolutely hate the narration.
I get it. It's AI. Total crap. I mean who says things like route one hundred and twenty one. In stead of one two one or one twenty one. Things like that remind me a computer is reading it and then all I think about is AI.
JEEZ. PEOPLE NEED JOBS. LET PEOPLE NARRATE. so annoying. Seems like all the new material included with audible is AI. Such garbage.
