Story
Some conspiracy theories turn out to be true. FBI profiler Victor Loshak works a brutal murder case in Watertown, New York - a woman found strangled in her basement, her face gone purple and baggy. But as he sifts through the crime scene details, his mind keeps drifting back to Kansas City, his last job. The human trafficking case there ended in something of a cliffhanger, and it's a loose end that everyone else in law enforcement seems in no hurry to tie up. The truth is out there. Always just out of reach.

Story
Continuing where Thus Spoke Zarathustra left off, Nietzsche's controversial work Beyond Good and Evil is one of the most influential philosophical texts of the 19th century and one of the most controversial works of ideology ever written. Attacking the notion of morality as nothing more than institutionalised weakness, Nietzsche criticises past philosophers for their unquestioning acceptance of moral precepts. Nietzsche tried to formulate what he called "the philosophy of the future".

Cass is having a hard time since the night she saw the car in the woods, on the winding rural road, in the middle of a downpour, with the woman sitting inside - the woman who was killed. She's been trying to put the crime out of her mind; what could she have done, really? It's a dangerous road to be on in the middle of a storm. Her husband would be furious if he knew she'd broken her promise not to take that shortcut home. And she probably would only have been hurt herself if she'd stopped.

A Haunting Ghost Story of Dreams and Reality—Excel

By: Wendy Webb
Publisher's Summary
Some secrets don’t stay buried.
Three elaborately staged victims. No clues. A public verging on panic.
FBI profiler Victor Loshak heads to Kansas City to hunt another serial killer. But something about this case is all wrong.
The three corpses lie posed. Face up. A glove laid to cover each right eye.
The victims seem to be selected at random. Suburban. Upper middle class. Squeaky clean. It doesn’t make sense.
A piece is missing from this puzzle.
If Loshak can find the missing link that connects the victims, he believes he can solve the case. The obstacles are many, however.
And the cryptic note someone left under his windshield wiper? It warns him that danger lurks all around.
They bury it, and they bury it, but it won't stay dead.
As Loshak digs deeper, uneasiness seems to creep over everything in the city. Paranoia. A sense of dread.
Everyone he encounters seems to be keeping things from him. Concealing something.
He gets a visceral sense of the lengths people will go to hide their sins. Bury them.
When the suburban veneer finally strips away, all the dark secrets come clear one by one.
But nothing can prepare Loshak for the shocking revelation this case unearths.
Because what lies beneath the surface? It changes everything.
This pulse-pounding thriller will have you holding your breath until the very end. Fans of James Patterson, John Sandford, and Lisa Regan should check out the Victor Loshak series.

good story but...
this was a good story and it takes place where I live... prairie village , mission hills , Independence , MO... my only problem is why is the narrator reading with a country - hillbilly accent when they're supposed to be narratating the Kansas City people? mission hills and prairie village are uppety neighborhoods ...educated... formal. I mean, the police stations have espresso machines in them. they don't talk like that- spitting,chewing tobacco kind of small town sheriff department.

Another fantastic story in the Loshak series!
I am a huge fan of the Violet Darger series and Victor Loshak is obviously a major part of that series, but this is the first book I’ve read in the Loshak series. I really enjoyed this book!
The ending was very surprising to me, but I have to admit that I liked it. Especially, if this isn’t the conclusion of this story. I do not want to add any spoilers, but I am very excited to see how Vargus, Smith, and McBain use the outcome of this novel in future stories. The possibilities are endless.
If you enjoy a fast-paced crime novel, this is the book for you!

Is Bonnem tired or is it the story?
There’s a mystery here and it’s not the story. I seem to have lost my two favorite writers somewhere. Lexi and Tim where have you gone? The suspense and edge that is in the Darger series is not here. This read is slow, almost tiring; or maybe it’s Bonnem’s read. He seems a little slow, making a few errors, even mispronouncing words (Someone tell the man that foyer is a French word. ). And what the hell happened to Loshak? Is this who he really is?
The big reveal of Victor Loshak’s character in this series is uncovering a warn out, middle-aged man who is tired and waiting to retire. He is no longer the super sleuth that he was portrayed as being in the Darger series. Not only does he come across as weak and ineffectual, but he also is breaking the laws he purports so vehemently. This is not the same man as in the previous books. Where did this new and not so interesting guy come from? That is the real mystery.
Something else missing in this book is the easy banter that went on between Sphinx and Loshak in “Beyond Good and Evil”. In fact, I felt that Sphinx was underutilized here. My favorite part of this book was his undercover episode which could have been so much more. I feel gipped.
The storyline is timely. The reality scary. The outcome of the novel disquieting. So much to work with. This is not the A game I am used to from the Vargas/McBain team. Again I wonder if it has something to do with the addition of Smith. Maybe too many authors does spoil a story. At least it seems to make it tired.

What Lies Beneath was such an amazing listen!
It was intense yet funny! Those two together are a riot!
I will not comment on the ending, but I loved it!
I gave us even more insight into Loshak's character!
Please E.M. Smith, LT Vargus & Tim McBain, keep 'em coming!
I can't wait for #3!

I liked this book a lot. I've always loved FBI thrillers, and Loshak is one of my favorite main characters lately. He's a good man who is also a decent cop. I also enjoyed the parts where the killer was the focus. The narration was very good.

Loshak at his best!
Just when you believe you know who Victor Loshak is, you are dealt a hand from left field. This latest Loshak book has him pursuing a serial killer in some upscale residential areas, along with a reporter/author/FBI consultant. Once again the authors have crafted a story filled with more twists and turns that keep their reader guessing what is coming next as the "goal posts" keep shifting. This story is a true page turner and I couldn't stop listening until Curt Bonnem had spoken the final line of this story. Once again Curt's narration provides so much life to this story it is mesmerizing.
If you are a Loshak fan, this is a must read, if you are new to Loshak, grab this and once you are hooked on this series, go back and listen the previous Loshak books.
