The Recruiter

A Rick Carter Novel

By: Gregg Podolski

Narrated by: Jamie Renell

An action-packed debut from Gregg Podolski, The Recruiter is a thrilling and unique adventure through the European underworld.

When bad guys need good help, they call Rick Carter.

He’s a criminal recruiter, searching for contract killers, hackers, gun smugglers, and any other assorted villains-for-hire a European crime boss might need. But, when the family he left behind in New Jersey is caught up in a client’s plot to monopolize the black market, Rick has to save them from two of his own top candidates: deadly assassins known only as Ghost and The Persian.

Fixing his own mess will require a set of skills he doesn’t have—not a problem, as finding qualified help is where he excels. But stepping into action, becoming the hero his family needs, that’s new territory. For a man who’s spent the last ten years being the best at helping the worst, this may be his last chance to do something right.

Entertaining

A completely different & refreshing take on an assassin story. The main character is a very appealing antihero. The story is written in a self deprecating & humorous manner. Enjoyable, entertaining & a superb first book. Looking forward to the next one.

Action packed with some humor!

Thoroughly enjoyed reading! Fast paced action packed book with some humor to it! Rick Carter is easily liked and rooted for. Well Done for first book!

A wonderful surprise.

This was a deal that I decided to take a chance on. It is both funny and action packed. It was very entertaining. There are some scenarios that may seem a little bit cliché, but for the most part. I think the author did a great job of developing a character that I would love to read in a series.

Interesting story

Very funny! Thoroughly enjoyed the book! Interesting premise & was a very fast read. Looking forward to the next book.

Twisty thriller with a heart of gold

Love me a bad guy that isn’t really bad, just flawed. Keeps you guessing to the very end.
