About this listen

“The energy and artistry Ericksen puts into her presentation make for an exciting listen.”—AudioFile (Earphones Award Winner)

The #1 New York Times bestselling author J. D. Robb spins an epic tale of loyalty, treachery, murder, and the long shadow of war…

His passport read Giovanni Rossi. But decades ago, during the Urban Wars, he was part of a small, secret organization called The Twelve. Responding to an urgent summons from an old compatriot, he landed in New York and eased into the waiting car. And died within minutes…

Lieutenant Eve Dallas finds the Rossi case frustrating. She’s got an elderly victim who’d just arrived from Rome; a widow who knows nothing about why he’d left; an as-yet unidentifiable weapon; and zero results on facial recognition. But when she finds a connection to the Urban Wars of the 2020s, she thinks Summerset—fiercely loyal, if somewhat grouchy, major-domo and the man who’d rescued her husband from the Dublin streets—may know something from his stint as a medic in Europe back then.

When Summerset learns of the crime, his shock and grief are clear—because, as he eventually reveals, he himself was one of The Twelve. It’s not a part of his past he likes to revisit. But now he must—not only to assist Eve’s investigation, but because a cryptic message from the killer has boasted that others of The Twelve have also died. Summerset is one of those who remain—and the murderous mission is yet to be fully accomplished…

This book is a wonderful tribute to Sommerset’s backstory, in my opinion. I really enjoyed the reveal more about his service, his wife and warrior friends. I look forward to the next book. Narration was excellent as always.

A book written for the fans

It was a very interesting story. Unlike others I have read her book 2 or 3 times waiting for new releases, the last three books along with this one is unlike the older books. However very good.

Pleasurably surprised.

Don’t like the narrator - just four chapters in, but I’m looking for another book to listen to. Maybe I’ll get used to the narrating or just ignore the jarring sounds of it until the end, but right now, it’s grating on my nerves 🫤

Interesting storyline … but needs a different narrator

I enjoyed seeing Summerser's team working with Dallas. I also liked how the author keeps reminding us that intelligent and hard working woman can be more than just a housewife.

The writing here is what put this series on the map. Excellent storytelling. Nary a soapbox in sight - really good listen.

I love the relationship of Eve and Somerset. I love that she can’t say it out loud but the importance of Somerset in her life is felt bone deep. Another great book.

Fantastic!!

I found this series when there was 30 books. I started from the beginning and read/listened to all of them back to back. I've enjoyed them all but this one IS THE BEST !!! 5 stars is not enough. I absolutely loved this book and The Twelve. Susan Ericksen is ALWAYS really great but she is OUTSTANDING in this book.
I'll obviously continue to read this series (already pre-ordered the next one due in September 2025) but this one will be hard to beat.

FANTASTIC !!!!! best of the series without a doubt
