TIN BADGES

It's not just the tin badges that shine in this pulse-pounding thriller, splendidly performed by Pete Simonelli. The audiobook is from the bestselling author of hits like A SAFE PLACE and SLEEPERS. Carcaterra unleashes ex-cop Tank Rizzo, who retired after a fatal shoot-out, and his motley crew of former cops and rough friends. Together, they aim to take down a ruthless drug dealer. Gonzo, the dealer, is colorfully portrayed by Simonelli with just the right amount of psycho threat and "New Yawk" attitude. Other well-depicted characters include Rizzo's newly orphaned nephew, a true-crime fan and computer whiz. Simonelli delivers a heart-stopping pace and a voice as evocative and gritty as the dirty city streets. R.O © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2019]
