Snake Doctor

In a world where justice is outsourced and morality is measured in market value, OPUS watches from the shadows—an elite organization tasked with resetting those who slip through the cracks of conventional law. When Joseph Melrose, a beloved family man, is left to die on a desolate road, the evidence points not to the driver but to the enigmatic Selena Destine.

Known in elite circles as the “Snake Doctor,” Selena’s surgical brilliance has saved billion-dollar lives, but her indifference to Melrose’s suffering reveals a chilling calculus: some lives simply aren’t worth stopping for.

As OPUS begins to unravel her web of influence, allies, and unpaid debts, the question shifts from whether she’s guilty… to whether she’s untouchable.

Calvin Thorne… is betting that she isn’t.

Is Selena Untouchable?

Snake Doctor is a novel by Riano McFarland. I have found that this author has a writing style that pulls me into the story. I believe that there is an underlying question, is an average family man's life worth saving as much as a rich man. A brilliant doctor, Selena does not find Joseph worth saving. OPUS is an elite group looking at people who operate in a very gray area. This book is excellent and exciting. Rudy Eisenzopf does an excellent job of narrating the book. Snake Doctor should be on everyone's list of audio boojs.

Great Read/Listen And Very Well Written!

This story is so close to home on how people in power believe they are outside all authority. Director Thorn is a amazing character and the organization he heads is a Great idea that I wish really existed in the world.

Another Enjoyable Listen!!

This was another gripping installment in the series and an engaging continuation of Calvin Thorne’s story. The premise of a shadow organization delivering justice outside the traditional system adds a dark, thought-provoking edge, and the tension builds nicely as OPUS begins unraveling Selena Destine’s web of influence and secrets. This author continues to be one of my favorites, and I really enjoyed diving deeper into Calvin Thorne’s world in this book. If there’s another installment in the series, I’ll absolutely be first in line to listen. The narration by Rudy Eisenzopf once again delivered a strong performance and added a lot to the overall listening experience.
