About This Audiobook
In the fourth installment of the Brothers O'Brien series, Shawn O'Brien's search for a missing schoolteacher leads him far beyond the familiar dangers of New Mexico Territory. The trail runs south to the Mexican coastline, where a slave trader operates a ship full of captive women bound for markets across the globe. Shawn joins forces with an eccentric bear hunter and a seasoned hangman to mount a desperate rescue, setting up a violent confrontation that draws in the U.S. Navy and pits frontier grit against calculated brutality on open water.
Dead Giveaways' full-cast dramatization gives the story genuine theatrical weight, with a large ensemble bringing distinct voices to every character from grizzled frontiersmen to the story's villain. The format suits the Johnstone style well: lean action scenes hit hard in audio, and the shifting perspectives keep the 5.5-hour runtime moving. Listeners already invested in the O'Brien family will find this adaptation an energetic entry in the series.
