Publisher's summary

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

Riveting

Although there are a few glitches in each book that are hard to believe, mostly that a cop whose been around as long as Stone would make such blatant mistakes, I still have to keep reading / listening. The books are worth the credit.

Excellent Detective "Who Done It"!

The simple review is that everything about this box set was great. I honestly feel like I watched a TV series.

Great series

This is one of the best series I’ve listened to. The narration is great and the characters are interesting and funny. The storyline is fast moving and hard to put down.

Couldn't put down

Skeptical at first but was hooked within a few minutes. The narrator's "meh" delivery helped set the mood. Twists and unseen turns made this a reason not to go to bed but stay up to see what was next.

The first two books or reminiscent of old fashioned murder mysteries. Both very good

The second two books the author showed his disdain for the Catholic Church a bit to much

The Cold Case files are really interesting

Listened to 4 books so far. There are 30 all together and I plan on listening to all of them. Very good Detective books and love the twist and turns each book has. Author is very good and keeps your interest from being too the end of each book. But I really love the narrator who is so good at giving the books life. He can do any accent he wants and makes them seem alive. He has mastered males- females- children- old people- crazy deranged people- and different foreign accents . The narrator handles all of this with ease. Switching back and forth between characters and their accents is a piece of cake for him. So glad he is reading these books and I plan to look into more of his readings.
