About this listen

In the latest thrilling crime novel from best-selling author Robert Rotenberg, Homicide Detective Ari Greene discovers the bludgeoned body of Toronto's most reviled developer behind his controversial new construction site.

When Detective Ari Greene was charged with the murder of the woman he loved, he stopped at nothing to clear his name and uncover the real killer. After his acquittal, Greene fled to London to get away from it all, but now he's back. And he's not alone - with Greene is his 20-year-old daughter, Alison. The child he never knew he had. Determined to leave his life as a cop behind him, Greene gets a job on a construction site for one of Toronto's many new condos. It seems he has finally found peace as he settles into a new career and new role as father, helping Alison adjust to life in Canada.

But when Greene stumbles upon the corpse of hated developer Livingston Fox, he is plunged back into the life he tried so hard to leave behind. As the body count rises, Greene is forced into a reluctant reconciliation with his former protege, Daniel Kennicott. The pair must delve into the tight-knit world of downtown development, navigating tangled loyalties, unexpected corruption, and family secrets, some of which are closer to home than Greene could have ever imagined.

Way too many spoilers from the author

This is book 5 in the series and it’s by far the weakest one. While the concept is great and the reality of condos and the the shortage of low income housing in Toronto is accurate, Rotenberg commits the cardinal sin of revealing the murderer and basic plots, unless you have no intention of reading it. Overall, disappointing and more than a bit of lazy writing from an author I admire. Yes, we had to know how a Ari Greene suddenly had a daughter -- that is a spoiler right there -- but we didn't need to know whodunit, who was falsely accused, from book 4. Spoilers galore! Narrator was ok, but preferred the one from the previous books. I was tempted to give it 2 stars overall, but I really only do that if a book is terrible. This wasn't terrible. Just very disappointing.
