About this listen
There's a new crime boss in town, and he means business. With the city's power balance teetering on a knife's edge, San Diego residents need to watch their step, because one wrong move could be their last.
Seasoned Sergeant James Edwards is a man on the verge of retirement, but when his superior receives wind of a new underground ruler, both his plans and the city's stability spiral into chaos. As Sergeant Edwards is drawn into one final investigation, he discovers a chilling truth: someone is leaking vital info to the gangs, and all the signs point to the same place—a traitor in the department. Meanwhile, Officer Jose Sandoval is torn between loyalty and a particular hunch, growing suspicious of a once-trusted colleague.
Out on the streets, a sly informant tiptoes through landmines, playing both sides by feeding intel to the cops while double-crossing the gangs he's supposed to be serving. For Sergeant Edwards, everything's unraveling—a lost career, a love that slipped away, and a life that was seemingly missing a purpose.
With pressure mounting from every direction, the question is: Can he get to the bottom of the most twisted case he's ever faced? Or will someone else take him down first? Uncover who survives the final play in a city where loyalty is a gamble and trust is a deadly game.

A San Diego Noir
This gritty police thriller delivers solid entertainment despite familiar territory. Narrator Keith Hamilton brings gravitas to world-weary Sergeant Edwards, though supporting characters occasionally blur together. While the corrupt cop premise isn't new, tight pacing and authentic San Diego atmosphere keep listeners engaged through the satisfying, if predictable, conclusion.

I don’t usually pick up crime thrillers, but this audiobook had me hooked. The narrator's voice added so much tension and depth, bringing the characters and the gritty streets of the city to life. I felt like I was right there, caught in the middle of a department in chaos, trying to figure out who could be trusted. The story pulled me in with its twists—just when I thought I had it figured out, another piece of the puzzle dropped, making me second-guess everything. The internal struggles and ethical dilemmas felt so raw and real, and it made me reflect on how trust can be so fragile. If you enjoy crime stories packed with suspense and tough decisions, this one is definitely worth a listen!
