Reaper: A Lucky Dey Thriller by Doug Richardson out now as Audiobook
Hello again, dear Audiobooks Fans! As promised, I returned with another article to highlight the release in audio format of another great noire thriller from the talented Doug Richardson and his narrator of choice, Tim DeKay. Reaper is book 3 in the Lucky Dey series, set in Los Angeles.
I am almost done listening to it and I love it. From the Publisher’s Summary we find out the following details:
Reap what you sow, especially if it’s murder….
L.A. cop Lucky Dey knows better than anyone that in some corners of the city no lives matter. Fed up with how the system tends to neglect society’s broken and defeated, Lucky ignores policy to hunt down the gangbangers who murdered an eccentric homeless vet. But the more he uncovers about the crime, the more Lucky realizes that his enemies are closer and more politically connected than he could imagine. Suddenly, Lucky can’t trust anyone – not even the ambitious rookie he’s been assigned to train
Both the author and the narrator of this series are some really cool people and I’ll add below their bios for you to take a look at.
Doug Richardson cut his teeth writing movies like DIE HARD 2, BAD BOYS, and HOSTAGE. But scratch the surface and discover he thinks there’s a killer inside all of us.
His Lucky Dey books exist between the gutter and the glitter of a morally suspect landscape he calls Luckyland–aka Los Angeles–the city of Doug’s birth and where he lives with his wife, two children, four big mutts, and the dead body he’s still semi-convinced is buried in his San Fernando Valley back yard.
The narrator is Tim DeKay and he has a wide range of work in film, television and theater. For six seasons, he starred as “Peter Burke” in White Collar on USA. Additional television work includes Here and Now (HBO), Tell Me You Love Me (HBO, 2007 AFI Award), Carnivale (HBO), American Crime(ABC) and many others.
His films include Best Man Wins, Get Smart, Peaceful Warrior, Big Eden, Swordfish, and others. His stage work covers Broadway, Off-Broadway, and National Tours.
I’ll see you next week here with a full review for this great third thriller in this series that I love more and more.
