City of Windows

A Novel

By: Robert Pobi

Narrated by: Stephen Graybill

"A tough, wise, knowing narrative voice, a great plot, a great setting, and even better characters - I loved this." (Lee Child, New York Times best-selling author)

In the tradition of Jeffery Deaver’s Lincoln Rhyme and David Baldacci’s Amos Decker, Robert Pobi's City of Windows introduces Lucas Page, a brilliant, reluctant investigator, matching wits with a skilled, invisible killer.

During the worst blizzard in memory, an FBI agent in a moving SUV in New York City is killed by a nearly impossible sniper shot. Unable to pinpoint where the shot came from, as the storm rapidly wipes out evidence, the agent-in-charge Brett Kehoe turns to the one man who might be able to help them - former FBI agent Lucas Page.

Page, a university professor and best-selling author, left the FBI years ago after a tragic event robbed him of a leg, an arm, an eye, and the willingness to continue. But he has an amazing ability to read a crime scene and figure out angles and trajectories in his head, and he might be the only one to be able to find the sniper’s nest. With a new wife and family, Lucas Page has no interest in helping the FBI - except for the fact that the victim was his former partner.

Agreeing to help for his partner’s sake, Page finds himself hunting a killer with an unknown agenda and amazing sniper skills in the worst of conditions. And his partner’s murder is only the first in a series of meticulously planned murders carried out with all-but-impossible sniper shots. The only thing connecting the deaths is that the victims are all with law enforcement - that is, until Page’s own family becomes a target.

To identify and hunt down this ruthless, seemingly unstoppable killer, Page must discover what hidden past connects the victims before he himself loses all that is dear to him.

Critic reviews

"City of Windows is moving, breathtaking--a great entertainment." — The Wall Street Journal

Engrossing!

I loved everything about this book and the narrator. Great characters, fascinating story, and a bad-ass female FBI agent!

Great story, mixed bag of characters

I didn’t really find Lukas a likable person. It helped to hear about his background which allowed some empathy for the character but he was a bit full of himself. Whitaker I found to be the most interesting character and she did call Lukas on his behavior which was called for.

One of the best books I have read/listened to

I have listened to this book at least three times and enjoyed each one.. Just a great one

Captivating New Series

This book is quite good. I had returned a couple that were better rated due to sheer boredom. Glad to see this will be a series. As to the reviewer who had issues with the politics, that truly is a non-issue and ridiculous observation imho. Recommend.

Too much political commentary, potentially biased

Too much political commentary, potentially biased. Disparaging portrayal of Christians as white supremacists. Not all rural people hate black and brown people
