Jetport TNT

By: Craig Mertler

Narrated by: Kenny Fuentes

Detective Luis Tanner is on a new case...one that might cost him his life, unless he can unravel the intricate conspiracies that have resulted in a decade of atrocities.

When retired detective Luis Tanner receives a call from a former colleague - with whom he had a torrid relationship - pleading for his help, he is extremely hesitant to offer his services. However, Everglades City Police Chief Brenda Walker convinces him that he is the only person who can break up a years-long illegal dog-fighting operation in the islands of Chokoloskee Bay. As Luis gains access to the organization, he begins to discover that the crimes and corruption run much deeper than just the dogs. Is it possible that the same organization is responsible for drug trafficking, money laundering, and - worst of all - sex trafficking of minors from a foreign country into the US? And, how is it all connected to a mysterious, seemingly abandoned airport in the middle of the Everglades?

As Luis infiltrates the organization to its core, he is appalled and sickened by what he witnesses and he knows it may end his life, but he vows that he must put an end to the atrocious crimes associated with Jetport TNT.

Uno, dos, tres, and Louis Tanner

The past has caught up to Louis in the form of a favor. Chief Walker reached out to him to assist with a dogfighting ring in her town. Reluctantly, Louis accepted the job as a consultant. He never expected to be enthralled by a beautiful woman while investigating a corrupt crime ring. Louis was left to navigate the treacherous crime scene while sifting through lies, betrayal, and the duty to the law. I would highly recommend this book to readers who enjoy plot twists and imagery. I really enjoyed this book!

Didn't want to stop listening

In some ways, this is one of the better detective mysteries I've read, but it's rather unrealistic for private detectives and citizens to undertake some of the acts they did in this story. The characters are great and Kenny Fuentes Performs them quite well. Most of the dialog seems pretty realistic, actually. This is a suspenseful story that may keep you up past your bedtime.

Note: I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
