The Midnight House

When two former members of a secret CIA interrogation unit operating out of a Polish facility are killed within days of each other, CIA agent John Wells is summoned to Langley with a question that has no comfortable answer: who is systematically eliminating men the government decorated for their work. Alex Berenson's fourth Wells novel confronts the moral fallout of post-9/11 detention and interrogation practices through a thriller that refuses to offer easy absolution to anyone.

George Guidall narrates with the moral authority that makes him one of the genre's most trusted voices, conveying both the urgency of the investigation and the weight of what the interrogation unit actually did. His voice suits Wells's particular brand of conscience-burdened competence, a character who understands how dirty his hands have become and continues anyway. At under eleven hours, the audiobook is propulsive and refuses to let its difficult material settle into simple heroism.
