Oh wow, I loved this book. The author certainly knows how to hook his listener in and even with my heart in my mouth I couldn't stop, There is two stories going on, one a brand new case and the other is a sort of continuation from the previous book, talk about playing with the listeners emotions. Both come to a satisfying conclusion and the story is cleverly crafted so that even though they are woven together it never gets confusing. I love the characters. Calvin makes for a great main character because even though you wouldn't want to get on his wrong side, he also has a softer and loyal side. All this makes you care for him and his friends and what happens to them. I can't wait for the next book and roller coaster ride.
When the police are stumped over the deaths of three escorts, they turn to there friend Private investigator Calvin for help. Having come from the streets he knows how to handle himself, who to talk to and if he doesn't his girlfriend Rachel does. Rachel survived the streets but her friends might not if they become a target of a serial killer. Finding how he picks the ladies is key but Calvin has his own target on his back. When he took out the hitman Baxter, his best friend vowed revenge and to make Calvin suffer. In trying to solve one case by hitting the streets is Calvin putting his and the people he cares about in the crosshairs of another and more deadly killer?
I liked the narrator. He did a good job bringing the story and emotion to life.

( Format : Audiobook )
"Just another day in paradise."
An injury to the knee destroyed Calvin's hope of a superstar sports celebrity. Tatooed, big and black, he'd worked for a while as a Collector, recovering money from those who didn't want to pay their debts. But Calvin left that world, setting himself up as a P.I. with his ex prostitute girl friend, Rachel, as his secretary.
Dale was a Los Vegas cop and Jimmy his partner. A former marine sniper named North is out to kill Calvin but not before destroying those closest to him and the bodies of three prostitutes with no apparent cause of death had been found dumped in refuse bins - looks like there's a serial killer in the town.

This mystery thriller series full of intrigue and twists, the characters flawed and as important to the story as the plot itself. Well written, almost plausible, Finders Keepers is a great read. And the narration by Connor Goff is also well performed, making the experience even more satisfying. My thanks to the rights holder who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy via Free Audiobook Codes. I look forward to the next Calvin Watters story.

life in the real Vegas!

There are two sides to Las Vegas…the tourist side and Calvin Walters’s side. Calvin has left behind his life as a Collector for a bookie and is on the ‘up & up’ as a PI. All this to say that Calvin’s life is never boring! As he assists his LVPD detective friend to solve the murders of prostitutes, he’s also evading a sniper, who’s out for revenge. This fast paced and action packed story will keep you engaged…Calvin’s snark will keep you snickering. Great ending. Can’t wait for what’s next for Calvin…something about a drug cartel ;)
