Meet Jake Oliver. The day will come when he's one of the best cleaners in the business, a man skilled at making bodies disappear. At the moment, however, he's a 22 year old rookie cop, unaware his life is about to change. In a burning barn a body is found--and the fire isn't the cause of death. The detectives working the case have a pretty good idea about what went down. But Officer Oliver thinks it's something else entirely, and pursues a truth others would prefer remain hidden - others who will go to extreme lengths to keep him quiet.

One night, after an anonymous text tip, Sam witnesses a congressional candidate and a mysterious blonde in a motel indiscretion that ends in murder, recording it all on his phone.

Very Good!
I didn't have a lot of expectations from this book when I downloaded if. I just needed something to fill the time until one out my favorite authors was available. I found myself immediately engaged. The author did a great job of combining the past life of the main character with the present. I find many authors do a terrible job of transitioning to the past to provide essential background information. Not here; I enjoyed the back story as much as the main plot line. Looking forward to this author's next book.

Almost Good
The story starts out very interesting, with suspense and an exciting premise. Immediately the adventure starts but the flaws are too many to overcome. Sam is being chased relentlessly by assassin's because he witnesses a murder in the course of his job following political canidates. I am drawn into the story, and really enjoy how he uses his former life in foster care and having lived on the streets his whole life to stay alive by using all the many ingenious things he learned in that horrible situation. To me this story goes down hill after a great beginning because the author seems bound to throw in a little romance that throws the whole rhythm off. It then becomes " The Hardy boy meets Nancy Drew. I was really disappointed. Also, everyone around him ends up dead, but there seems to be no sadness or remorse of this fact. Odd. Because I liked the character Sam I had to keep staying with it until close to the end and by then i just gave up. Anticlimactic ending to a possible great beginning. Sorry to say this, and others may not agree, but because of these flaws i just couldn't stick it out. it's still a book I recommend because the character Sam is really an interesting guy. For the price, a nice diversion.

Ridiculous story line leading to an utterly unbelievable denouement. It is like something a high school English student might write. The narrator is ok. I have to give him credit for being able to get through the story without dissolving into laughter.

WOW!! I can't wait for Book 2 in the series!
I listened to the first release of audio version of The Tracker and I posted a 5 star review on April 9, 2016 soon after it was released. In reading about the book recently on the author's page, I learned it was to be re-released on February 14, 2017 with some changes and another narrator. Since Audible no longer carries the original release which is in my Audible library, I decided to purchase the new release. (With my Kindle unlimited account the price is $2.99.) So now I have 2 audio copies and I do not plan to return either.
I listened to over 400 Audible books in 2016 and The Tracker easily ranks in the best one percent. It is simply an extraordinary suspense thriller. The protagonist Sam Callahan is a law student working on a congressional campaign in Texas tracking the opposition candidate when bad things start to happen. Author Chad Zunker is a great writing talent and story teller with this being his first released novel. The narrator of the first audio version was Justin D Torres who did a stellar job. Noah Berman does equally well narrating this re-release.
The differences in the first and second releases are not substantial, but they are sufficient to make it marginally better. The Tracker is a novel that I can VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND without reservation to listeners regardless of their preferred genres.

An introduction to Sam, we learn his whole story from the beginning and intertwined is his race to find the truth and save his life. I liked it, great introduction to the characters I am sure we will see in future stories, interesting plot involving the probable crookedness of politics and it's coverups and what lengths one will go to obtain the ultimate goal and finally a really good narration.

A Fascinating Timeline
I just love how this story is told. It's a unique use of the flashback technique that tells you Everything you need or want to know about Sam, efficiently and elegantly whilst propelling the story in an exciting fashion.
In Sam you have a potentially unique genius who, having endured and survived a truly difficult and heart rending childhood, is just about to finally complete his law degree and become a much sought after legal mind.
Until a part time, stop gap job leads him to become sought after for all the wrong reasons! You cannot put this book down, as much as you may have other things to do, this book will keep you guessing and wondering how it can ever be successfully resolved!
I discovered this title as part of my Kindle Unlimited subscription. I doubt that I would have discovered it otherwise. This novel alone is worth the subscription fee! The narrator is well chosen, he gives the story credibility.
A totally engrossing listen. Enjoy!
