About this listen

Jude Johnstone and his photographer buddy Grover once traveled together for magazine articles. Times have changed. Jude is now a tabloid reporter in Miami, and Grover runs a dying camera store. Then Jude gets a tip leading to the location of a disappeared Powerball winner of $900M, and finds him in hiding in a South Beach penthouse.

Howard Rosen was a bowling alley accountant who has erased his identity with the plan to reemerge a hero after financing a coup against a corrupt Caribbean island dictator. He hires Jude to find his possible son...or is it just a young man claiming to be his son on Union? He instructs Jude to find out, and help islanders resist the governor, with an unlimited budget and the lure of a fake reality show to infiltrate.

What happens next is anything but predictable, though, as a storm approaches. And if he and Grover fail to beat the opposing tribe? They're shark food!

Good narration, mediocre story

Tom Lennon does a wonderful job here for Audible, trying to put forth his best face in this sloppy book by Johnathan Lowe. The book has too many twists, too many themes, and gets so preachy at the end i just wanted it to be over...which is unfortunate because the actual story of two journalists hired by an almost-billionaire to find his possible son in the Caribbean, and stop a coup in the process. The ethnic dialogue is sloppy and questionable, and the story's amazing action sequences are spoiled by convoluted dialogue, amongst other things.
