About this listen

When Tyron Shaw returns to his hometown of Las Vegas after 11 years in the Marines, he’s surprised to discover that two of his best friends from childhood are all anyone is talking about: Antoine Deco, three years out of prison, hasn’t lost a boxing match since his release and is fighting tonight in the undercard to the fight of the decade; and Keenan Quinn, a police officer who killed an unarmed teenager and escaped punishment from the courts, is the subject of a protest tomorrow morning.

Tyron has trouble reconciling either story with his memory of these men, and the situation escalates when he runs into the love of his life, Naomi Wilks, a retired WNBA player, a basketball coach, and the estranged wife of Keenan. As Tyron reconnects with his old community, he learns over the next 24 hours that much has changed since he left Las Vegas...and there is much more that he never understood.

The Reef, an aquarium-themed casino and the hottest resort on the Strip, is the backdrop for this bullet-paced narrative, where loyalty to one’s friends, one’s family, and one’s community are ever at odds and every choice has deadly repercussions.

A Knockout from start to finish!

Undercard, a debut novel by David Albertyn, is a fast paced crime thriller that takes place over the course of 24 hours. The story revolves around four childhood friends who are brought back together on the eve of Antoine Deco's big fight in Las Vegas. Not all is as it seems though as the past catches up with the present and they each will have to make difficult decisions that'll ultimately define who they are.

Despite the audiobook only clocking in at a little over 8 hours, Undercard is jam packed with action and memorable characters. The story captivated me from beginning until the very end, and the ending was one of the best and most satisfying I've read in a long time.

It's also the first time I've listened to Leon Nixon narrate an audiobook and he's simply excellent. Listening to Deco's fight scene in the ring was like watching Rocky for the first time. There were even parts in the book that made me laugh out loud.

Undercard is an excellent debut novel that'll leave you wanting more and it's already one of my favorite thrillers from the past few years. Highly recommended!
