DIETRICH

It's impossible to go wrong with this Audible Original, which teams up award-winning author Don Winslow and four-time Oscar nominee Ed Harris. Harris puts the growl in gruff Richard Dietrich while unreeling the last case of the washed-up NYPD homicide detective. This once-great, now alcoholic cop should have just phoned it in until reaching his pension. But in the summer of '77, he takes one murder too personally and ends up with a second, more notorious, body to deal with. Harris bluntly brings the listener into Dietrich's world, ably animating the skels, the Mob, and the cops. What results is an urban noir audiobook in which the protagonist pays dearly for making waves. D.E.M. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2024]
