The Night Collector

Vegas Shadows, Book 2

By: Victor Methos

Narrated by: Saskia Maarleveld

Edgar nominee Victor Methos delivers the next high-stakes case for Detective Lazarus Holloway and Piper Danes, where a kidnapping at a Vegas chapel unveils a sinister plot that hits close to home.

The abduction of two teenagers from their Vegas wedding isn’t a case Detective Lazarus Holloway wants to take—it’s one he has to take. His only clue is a bracelet, etched with a Mayan symbol of death and vengeance—two things the detective is familiar with.

With no other leads, Lazarus enlists the help of guardian ad litem Piper Danes. They’ve got a complicated history, but Piper shares his compulsion to save children in need, no matter the personal cost. Unfortunately, that cost gets higher with every new revelation.

As they tread further into the dangerous network surrounding the case, secrets from Lazarus’s past follow close behind. He soon finds himself entangled with the players in this game of life, death, and disappearances. And if he can’t figure out how he fits in, there may be no getting out…

What happened?

I disliked the no ending ending. I get that a sequel will occur, but this part of the story was not wrapped up.

I NEED MORE!!!!

I CANNOT believe this series!!!! It reminds me of Slow Horses - super suspenseful narrative, every-man characters you can’t help but love and get attached to, crazy-a** rich people, and unexpected/heart-wrenching death and destruction that you never see coming. How dare you leave me on such a cliffhanger!!!!!! This story is not over and didn’t wrap up - it’s only just begun. Start this series NOW! You won’t regret it. Looking forward to the next one

Great story line and storytelling!

Love this author and the readers! They keep me on my toes and wanting more!

Cliffhanger

Ends with a cliffhanger and no real ending. This was disappointing as it doesn’t seem to show another book in this series! I won’t recommend because of that.

Great characters

Really like this series. Can’t wait for third book! Love the characters and relationships, and the ending makes you want more!
