Above Ground

A Jack Taggart Mystery

By: Don Easton

Narrated by: David Drummond

RCMP detective Jack Taggart has avenged the murders of his niece and nephew, but the consequences linger. His deal with Damien, leader of the Satan's Wrath motorcycle gang, has put him in a bind and has jeopardized an informant in the gang. Meanwhile, other members of the gang, led by a mysterious figure known only as "The Boss", have been working to eliminate Taggart by destroying the lives of anyone with connections to him. And if the bad guys aren't enough of an obstacle, there are problems to be found on the force itself. Assistant Commissioner Isaac is becoming more and more suspicious that Jack may have been responsible for the death of a corrupt Crown prosecutor. With Jack's life and career on the line, Above Ground is a tough and gritty follow-up that will more than satisfy listeners who were pulled into the dark Vancouver underworld by Loose Ends, the first Jack Taggart mystery.

Great suspense novel

I enjoyed the story development. There are several areas of intense violence in the story. Suggest parents consider the temperament of young adult reader before allowing them to read the story.

Twists and Turns

Pain and suffering of children is appalling. Agony the rest of us is may never know is everywhere. Solutions only last until the end of the page.

How about still breathing?

I find the beginning of these books a little hard to get into. But after I'm settled I don't want to turn it off. He really takes some serious gambles. He's obviously brilliant. I loved the show of emotion from the men. Though adversaries, they were really just alike at heart. And snubbed their noses at "their"sides and worked together. Albeit, scared shitless during the whole thing!
I'm enjoying this new found author & this series. Try him.

action suspense

"Ah man" is a reborn catchphrase.

Jack really makes me want to strangle him.
There's a heavy hand of sympathy for the devil in this one. I'm on to the next, because each one is differently awesome

Great Book!

The writer keeps you in suspense from all the excitement as they go through their journey to get the criminal.
