About this listen

Books 1-4 in the USA Today best-selling Dead Cold series from two-million copy best-selling author Blake Banner

  • An Ace and a Pair (Book 1)
  • Two Bare Arms (Book 2)
  • Garden of the Damned (Book 3)
  • Let Us Prey (Book 4)

Detective John Stone of the NYPD has the best arrest record in the 43rd precinct. But he’s a dinosaur who belongs to another age. Detective Carmen Dehan has such a bad attitude that nobody at the precinct can stomach her. Captain Jennifer Cuevas wants them both out of the way and thinks they make a perfect pair. So she gives them the Cold Cases file—the cases nobody gives a damn about.

She has no idea just how hot a cold case can get.

Ten years back, Nelson Hernandez and his four cousins were playing poker in a dive at Hunts Point. Somebody came in, blew them away, and beheaded and castrated Nelson, leaving his head and his balls on the table. There was no shortage of suspects: the Jersey Mob, the Triads from Manhattan, or the 43rds own bent cop, Mick Harragan. But nobody was ever charged, and the night of the murder Mick Harragan went missing with Nelson’s wife, Maria.

Now Stone and Dehan plan to find him—whatever the consequences…

who picks the voices for the characters?

this is a great series, however a few of the voices for the characters are a bit over the top. a 400 lb criminal that sounds like Bela lugosi

EXCELLENT Series

I'm on book 3 now. Books 1 and 2 were excellent, and 3 is turning out to be the same. Believable storylines, fast pace, interesting characters and great narrator. Unlike some of the reviews, I was too caught up in the story to look for inconsistencies in details - no glaring issues for me. The box set of 4 books is a great bargain. If you like books read by Tom Taylorson, I think you'll like Adam Grupper. Very similar voice. Does a good job with the various characters and accents.

I listened to the whole series

so this rating is for the series as a whole. I love this genre. But had come to the conclusion that I'd listened to everything good plus a lot that was bad, and anything else I listened to would just be
repeats of the stories I'd already heard. New names, new characters, same old stories. So I was surprised and happy to find this series. I feel like Mr Banner tried harder to put together interesting protagonists and unusual stories instead of just re-writing the stories that r out there. He also does a good job with the romantic relationship. Some writers just kill off the woman in a series to avoid having to do the relationship thing, but he does it well. The narrator is good too.

Great voices, story moved along so well no down gaps.

Very entertaining no outlandish shootouts. Enjoyable characters with a touch of personal tension. All four stories were well written.

Awesome Listen

This was my first time listening to a Blake Banner book but I loved it so much that I have already purchased the next book in the series. To be honest when I started listening I thought that it was going to be a return the only reason that I kept listening was because it was a box set for 1 credit. I am so glad that I kept listening, by the 3rd chapter I was hooked.
