Stripped

Product Description [MP3-CD audiobook format in Vinyl case. NOTE: The MP3-CD format requires a compatible audio CD player.][Read by Joe Barrett] Jonathan Stride and Serena Dial are both investigating high-profile murders in Las Vegas. A celebrity is assassinated during a fling with a prostitute, and a young boy is killed in a brutal hit-and-run incident. When the cases converge, Jonathan and Serena find themselves racing the clock against a determined serial killer and searching for a connection to the unsolved murder of a showgirl years earlier. -- Freeman's vivid cast of characters exposes all of Las Vegas' dirty secrets, past and present, and in a rooftop showdown amid the ruins of a 1960s-era casino, the chase comes to a stunning climax. Like Immoral, Stripped pushes the emotional and sexual limits of its heroes and keeps the listener riveted until the last shocking plot twist. Review ''Freeman consistently hits his thriller marks, keeping the action coming and the tension high... The height of guilty pleasures.'' --Kirkus Reviews ''A cracking second novel.'' --Manchester Evening News ''Freeman captures the sleazy atmosphere of the city...driving its narrative briskly to a dramatic conclusion'' -- Sunday Telegraph ''Freeman ably juggles multiple plot strands while never losing sight of the human dimension... Confirmation of a major talent.'' --Guardian ''Freeman depicts his characters well, especially the good-natured Stride; his cop girlfriend, Serena Dial; and his partner, Amanda. Freeman has crafted a strong narrative, rife with sex and violence.'' --Publishers Weekly ''What sets the author apart are his rich, complex characters . . . Recommended for fans of Harlan Coben, who will enjoy the compelling cast and swift, sinuous plot.'' --Booklist'' (Audiobook narrator) Barrett deftly handles the rapid-fire dialogue, believable plot shifts, and wide variety of voices and accents. In dusky, appealing tones, Barrett turns Freeman's deliciously decadent diversion into compelling listening.'' --AudioFile About the Author BRIAN FREEMAN is an international bestselling author of psychological suspense novels, including Immoral and Stripped, both available from Blackstone Audio.
