Publisher's Summary

Please note: This audio drama is for mature audiences only. It contains strong language, violence, and sexual content. Discretion is advised.

James Patterson's Detective Billy Harney is back, this time investigating murders in a notorious Chicago drug ring, which will lead him, his sister, and his new partner through a dangerous web of corrupt politicians, vengeful billionaires, and violent dark web conspiracies.

In The Coldest Case: A Black Book Audio Drama, homicide detective Billy Harney sends his new partner, Kate, deep undercover in a notorious Chicago drug ring. When several members of the ring soon turn up dead, Billy abruptly pulls Kate out, blowing her cover. Kate’s informant inside the gang quickly disappears. As does the ring’s black book....

When Billy can’t find the informant, he wonders if Kate is secretly harboring her, since the two grew close during Kate's weeks undercover. As Billy and Kate investigate the ring’s murders, they’ll be pulled into a dangerous web of corrupt politicians, vengeful billionaires, drugged pro-athletes, and violent, dark web conspiracies, all in search of the missing black book.

Great voice acting, poor story

Maybe it's the condensed format of this prelude story, but the story is wildly unbelievable.

Entertaining

Enjoyable and entertaining, quality like listening to a movie. The cast of narrators all did a spectacular job, particularly Aaron Paul. Decent crime mystery with some twists and turns and a little dark humour.

Fun listen

Sometimes it’s nice to have an easy and enjoyable story to listen too. The acting and characters are great and it’s great to listen too while still doing other things. As good as watching a thriller cop TV show.

A Must-Listen Thriller with Top-Notch Performances

**Audiobook Review: The Coldest Case**

"The Coldest Case" kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish! The suspenseful plot twists and turns kept me guessing and eagerly anticipating what would happen next. The actors brought the story to life with their captivating performances, making each character feel incredibly real and relatable. Their chemistry and delivery were so compelling that I couldn't help but imagine this as a live-action series.

I'm hooked and eagerly awaiting more from this talented cast. If you're looking for an engrossing listen that will leave you wanting more, this is it. Highly recommended!
