Synopsis

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Stone Barrington series delivers a riveting novel of one man’s desperate war against the richest and most ruthless drug cartel in the world.

Tech millionaire Wendell “Cat” Catledge has taken two years off to sail around the world with his wife and eighteen-year-old daughter. And he’s never been happier—until an impromptu stop for repairs and supplies in Santa Marta, Colombia, turns into a disaster. His wife and daughter are sent to a watery grave, but Cat—though shot—survives...

Now as Cat struggles to put the pieces of his life back together, one phone call will change everything—and send him back to Colombia on a vengeance-fueled journey through its deadly drug towns. One faint voice in the night that says...“Daddy.”

From AudioFile:

Woods's violent but involving thriller about a father's attempts to retrieve his kidnapped daughter from the clutches of a merciless drug kingpin is thankfully relieved by pleasant interludes at lavish South American hotels, often poolside, and by a little romance. L.J. Ganser's fluid, energetic voice smoothly handles these shifts in tone, effectively conveying both the gritty action and the lighter moments. His vocal characterizations are varied and interesting, and his delivery makes the most of some surprising plot developments. As "Cat" Catledge and his small band of allies navigate the dark underbelly of Colombia and the dangers of the Amazon jungle in search of his missing daughter, Ganser does an able job of making us root for the good guys.
