Story
On the afternoon of July 30, 1975, former Teamsters president Jimmy Hoffa left the parking lot of the Machus Red Fox Restaurant in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, never to be seen again. In this story by two-time Edgar Award-winning, New York Times best-selling author Steve Hamilton, Alex McKnight - a former Detroit cop - is sitting at the rail in the Glasgow Inn when a local old-timer tells him an unusual story. It’s the kind of small-town mystery that won’t let Alex sleep at night, but when he goes hunting for answers, he stumbles upon the biggest surprise of his life.

Publisher's Summary
In the stunning follow-up to the New York Times best-seller The Second Life of Nick Mason, the remarkable hero fights to take back control from the crime lord who owns his life as he races to complete a daring and dangerous new mission.
Nick Mason has been given a true mission impossible: infiltrate WITSEC, the top-secret federal witness-protection program that has never been compromised, locate the three men who put his boss, Darius Cole, behind bars for life, and kill them.
But first he has to find them - they're ghost prisoners locked down around the clock in classified "deep black" locations by a battalion of heavily armed US marshals charged with protecting them - and the clock is ticking. Cole is appealing his conviction, and these witnesses are either his ticket to freedom or the final nail in his coffin. If they testify, Darius Cole will never step foot in the outside world again. If they are killed, he will walk out a free man.
As he risks everything to complete his mission, Mason finds himself being hunted by the very man he replaced, the ruthless assassin who once served, then betrayed, Darius Cole. Rather than waiting to be Mason's next victim, he has escaped witness protection to hunt down and kill Mason himself.
In an action-packed journey that leads from a high-security military installation in the Appalachian Mountains to a secret underground bunker hidden far below the streets of New York City, Nick Mason will have to become, more than ever before, the lethal weapon that Darius Cole created.

Too much is too much....
I loved the first book of the Nick Mason series , although i found it a bit stretched in terms of credibility. The sequel is seriously disappointing. It is hurried, cliched, with barely sketched characters, a laughably high body count and zero credibility..

Great listen that stretches credulity
The first Nick Mason book was a blast, a wonderful premise, powerful, action-packed story, well-written and well-narrated. What a bold departure from Hamilton's first series character.
But I did wonder how you could push this great idea past one book and keep the reader/listener buying in to the premise and maintaining our connection to the main character. Right from the outset of the first book, Nick is teetering on the edge of an impossible dilemma. We root for him to succeed and break out of the bind he is in. I enjoyed Exit Strategy, it kept me riveted even while the odds mounted. But with each plot twist and bigger obstacle thrown in his path, it grew harder to suspend my disbelief. On one hand, it is the way, as in too many action stories and films, the protagonist bounces back from vicious beatings, shootings and explosions to continue vanquishing foes like an immortal ninja. On the other, it is how the web of evil stretches further and farther from the 'simple' drug gang mastermind to something more pervasive and more mysterious. And harder to buy. The thought rose that Hamilton, a good writer, was taking the 'easy' way out by turning to the fantastic instead of more subtle, artful plot developments. I still like the series and will surely listen to book three - I hope Quintero returns simply so I can enjoy Ray Porter voicing his character - but the fresh edge is gone.

I blame myself
After listening to the first book in the series, I thought I was done with Nick Mason. At least I know I am now - for sure
It's not just the level of absurd scenarios that this guy gets placed into. It's also the non-explanation of how he gets away with it.
I guess this is a world without DNA evidence as he leaves his blood everywhere. Or the fact that his fingerprints are probably on everything he leaves at the scene. Not to mention that there must be no video cameras where he goes to record his face while he's breaking into high security places..
He's also got to be the dumbest guy to not figure out what's going to happen if he does one thing or another without there being consequences. As stupid as I am for deciding to give this series one more shot.
Only Rat Porter kept me listening through this train wreck of a book..

Only Ray Porter saved this book
Not a very good book, but Ray's narrative saved it from being returned. Our hero seems to be with one person in a location, then without warning is with someone else in another location. I thought I had fallen asleep several times, which I did, only to rewind and still was lost. Parts of this book were enjoyable but I would never listen twice.

Great plot, iffy narrator
When I'm listening to a book, compatibility with the narrator is key. Lost in the story, I can be rudely HH jerked back to reality by a lozenge clicking against teeth or, in this case, a narrator who has been told that diction precedes all in elocution. Picky, I know, but the emphasis on an internal "t," which most of us pronounce as "d," is one such pebble in my auditory shoe. I lived with it because I love Steve Hamilton's work, but I will be at pains to listen to another Ray Porter narration, especially because he pronounces his own name as "PorT-er" instead and of "Por-der" as most of us would say. Sure, bad example as you can say your name however you please, but it's a thing for me. Compelling episode in the Nick Mason series, narration so-so.
