Dead Man Dancing

A Bad Axe County Novel

By: John Galligan

Narrated by: Samantha Desz

In this sequel to the “gritty, brash, and totally gripping” (The Real Book Spy) thriller Bad Axe County, Sheriff Heidi Kick is investigating an illicit cage fighting ring with ties to white nationalism when her husband suddenly goes missing.

It’s a time for celebration in Bad Axe County as the town gathers for the annual Syttende Mai—Norwegian Independence Day—festival. During this rollicking family-oriented event filled with dancing and food, Sheriff Heidi Kick discovers a dark and shocking event—a migrant worker has been savagely beaten but refuses to explain what happened. Then, a sudden murder of a band member shatters the festival. Something is deeply wrong in Bad Axe County.

As she looks for answers, Heidi plunges into a secret underworld where high-stakes cage fights double as combat training for the White Nationalist movement. Then all hell breaks loose for Heidi when her husband disappears and a secret he’s been keeping from Heidi is revealed.

“Given current tensions and deep divisions in the United States, Dead Man Dancing takes on an electrifying relevance” (BookPage) with its vividly drawn characters and unforgettable twists and turns.

WOW. I loved this.

this author should be nationally acclaimed. I can't wait to listen to more of his books. You won't be able to stop listening to this book, as in my opinion it is even better than the first of the series.

Raw, gritty, thrilling, and timely

Hard to put into words how much I enjoy this Author. This has been a fantastic storyline with a heroine 🦸‍♀️ unlike any other. I can say I will never miss a book by this Author in my future! Absolute must read 💯
