After That, the Dark

Cameron Winter Mysteries, Book 5

By: Andrew Klavan

Narrated by: Adam Barr

Cameron Winter is falling in love. After finally working up the courage to contact the attractive therapist Gwendolyn Lord, he finds himself immersed in a passion that feels heaven-sent. When Gwendolyn tells him about a true-life "locked room mystery," Winter feels compelled to investigate.

In Tulsa, Oklahoma, a solid citizen named Owen McKay suddenly went mad and killed his wife and child. Locked in a padded cell and monitored on video, he was nonetheless discovered dead from a projectile fired into his head. As Winter begins to ask questions, he finds Tulsa officials have been intimidated into silence by a killer who once tried to attack Winter during his days as a government assassin. What's more, another mysterious death, just like McKay's, has taken place in Connecticut. And both murders seem linked to a sinister billionaire who once clashed with Winter's old mentor, the Recruiter.

Winter's past and present are coming together in a single dangerous conspiracy. And though Winter desperately wants to escape his career as an assassin, his love for Gwendolyn is deepening quickly and he will do anything—and kill anyone—to protect her.

No crime mystery like this anywhere

Big yes to this unique approach. The hero must solve his inner conflicts to resolve the external ones. That's what makes this a page turner.

Best Ever

Excellent story, the character development was masterful. I loved the dialog with StanStan and The Recruiter.

Klavan is a master

Love this series! Cameron Winter is the flawed hero we need. I cannot wait for the next one!

Best one so far

Best one so far. The series just keeos getting better and better. Winter has now found love but he is still a cold blooded secret agent.

An Exciting & Taut Tale Told Well

Excellent and unique characters and dialogue. I have all 5 Cameron Winter books & have grown to care a lot about “Poetry Man” and his strange habit of mind. This was a great listen maybe the best of the 5 so far. I hope Andrew has some more tales to tell of our hero and his new love.
