The Man Who Never Was

John Milton, Book 16

By: Mark Dawson

Narrated by: David Thorpe

Can the man who never was catch the criminals who never get caught?

John Milton is used to operating in the shadows, weaving his way through dangerous places behind a fake identity. Now, to avenge the death of a close friend, he must wear his mask of deception once more.

Beau Baxter was brutally murdered by a drugs cartel, but that doesn’t stop Milton from blaming himself for his friend’s death. With the help of a trusted team of undercover experts and Beau’s son, Milton is determined to track down the killers. And he isn't just after the man who gave the order. He’s heading right for the top.

Milton plans to follow the trail of cocaine from the nightclubs of Amsterdam all the way to its source in Colombia. Disguised as an ambitious buyer, he’s prepared to work his way up the cartel hierarchy one rung at a time. But the ladder can be slippery, and as Milton travels deeper into a world of violence, ruthlessness and greed, he finds himself in a jungle that could prove impossible to escape.

another great book

Full of what you expect in books like this. John and his team are at it again.

Another winner!

These John Milton books just keep better and better as Mark Dawson adds more rich layers to his characters.

I totally enjoy audio books and the variously

pl0ts,twist with all the and turns or the narrative. For me to.lay back and simple.list is very.relacihng

Maybe it’s just me?

I’ve listened to 10 of Mark Dawson audiobooks. I’ve rated them all 5 stars. Great narrator. BUT in this latest book two things caused me to downgrade my ratings. 1) the story is to convoluted with M-15, Milton’s old group going against a group of ex M-15 employees. Then Milton involving himself in the mix on his own. One positive thing is the characters Ziggy which were familiar with from prey novels and a new character Could carry a novel on there own. Lastly for the decrease in my ratings is the narrator had so many voices to construct, some characters sounded the same including females that it was difficult identifying who was speaking. If your a Dawson/ Melton fan listen. But you have got to pay attention and stay sharp. I bought this one but wouldn’t do it again. Free yes!

Too implausible

Milton to the rescue with a lot of action. Is it justice or revenge? Milton and his team go after the head of a major drug organization. Dawson must be a conspiracy theorist with a big distrust of the US government. Unknown to Milton’s team, the target organization has secret supporters in the government. There is also a loose cannon in a different government organization that gets involved. Plenty of action.
