نقد و بررسی
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you, thinks Nick Heller, the knowing, sarcastic hero with the heart of gold. This devilishly plotted thriller is so engrossing that you may not even mind when your own life is stalled in traffic. Holter Graham throws himself at the job, cracking his voice as an arrogant teen and pleading piteously as a woman whose eyeballs are threatened by a scalpel-wielding mercenary. In an "extra features" interview Finder asks Graham questions--which shows Finder to be spectacularly modest. But we'd rather have it the other way round. A good narrator should be like God or Flaubert's artist. "One must sense him everywhere but never see him." B.H.C. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

Known for his stand-alones, bestseller Finder (Power Play
) introduces Nick Heller, an elite corporate intelligence specialist and former Special Services badass, in this exciting series opener. After a frantic call from his 14-year-old nephew, Gabe, Heller returns home to Washington, D.C., from a job in California to find Gabe's mother in a coma and Gabe's stepfather, Roger, who is Heller's older brother, vanished without a trace. Though the brothers have been estranged since their father's much-publicized securities fraud conviction years earlier, Nick vows to protect Gabe and his mother and unravel the mystery of Roger's alleged abduction. The investigation leads him to some disturbing revelations about Roger, not the least of which involves a powerful—and dangerous—private military company. Written in staccato chapters that are emotionally supercharged and action packed, this thriller will more than satisfy adrenaline junkies and have them guessing until the very end.
