THE FIXER
READ BY STEVEN KEARNEY
BY JOSEPH FINDER
  
ABOUT THE AUDIO BOOK:
New York Times bestselling author Joseph Finder delivers his next breakneck stand-alone thriller about the secrets families can keep, and the danger of their discovery

When former investigative reporter Rick Hoffman loses his job, fiancée, and apartment, his only option is to move back into — and renovate — the home of his miserable youth, now empty and in decay since the stroke that put his father in a nursing home.

As Rick starts to pull apart the old house, he makes an electrifying discovery — millions of dollars hidden in the walls. It’s enough money to completely transform Rick’s life — and everything he thought he knew about his father.  Yet the more of his father’s hidden past that Rick brings to light, the more dangerous his present becomes. Soon, he finds himself on the run from deadly enemies desperate to keep the past buried, and only solving the mystery of his father — a man who has been unable to communicate, comprehend, or care for himself for almost 20 years — will save Rick… if he can survive long enough to do it.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

PRAISE FOR THE FIXER:
“A master of the modern thriller.”—The Boston Globe

“A can’t-miss thriller…Suspicion is arguably Joseph Finder’s best novel to date, and he’s one of the best thriller writers in the business. He’s a master at making the reader feel every emotion, jump at every shock and squirm with every twist that Danny must overcome.” —Associated Press

“Lock yourself in a room with Suspicion and don’t come out until you’ve read every last word. Completely original, emotionally satisfying, expertly twisted, and genuinely entertaining. Suspicion is the thriller to read this year. I loved it.”—Lisa Gardner

“Joseph Finder has always been out there on the front edge of things. With Suspicion he does it again, giving us a novel that is as timely and cognizant of contemporary society as it is a startling seat of the pants thrill ride. In Finder’s hands one man’s fight for survival becomes an everyman’s journey to the light.”—Michael Connelly

“Suspicion is Joseph Finder at the absolute top of his form:  a heart-pounding, sweaty-palmed, utterly terrifying ride.”—Tess Gerritsen

“Finder fans as well as devotees of action-packed suspense have a great read ahead. The taut pacing, staccato chapters, and ingenious plot, especially Finder’s characteristically creative use of digital surveillance techniques, guarantees a literary thrill ride.”—Library Journal, starred review 

“[A] lean, crisp thriller—a zipping Jaguar of a ride…The plot turns—three major ones—are as shocking as they are believable…his spare, laminated style is several cuts above that of most thrillers.” —Publishers Weekly

“Thriller veteran Finder merits applause for this streamlined story made believable by Danny’s everyman character; readers will find his palpable guilt and fear instantly relatable.” - Booklist

BINGO'S QUICK THOUGHTS:
I listened to THE FINDER early this summer, thanks to a copy from Richard at Penguin/Random House Audio. I found the story to be a gripping mystery that drew me right in. I enjoyed listening to Joseph Finder's narrative and the way he kept my attention and focused on well developed characters. It was my first book by him and I am anxious to read more of his work. Give it a try...you won't be disappointed!

I have seen the Fixer and other books that he has written but haven't tried them yet. They look good though.
