Every Fear

Jason Wade Series, Book 2

By: Rick Mofina

Narrated by: Paul Costanzo

On an ordinary morning, Maria Colson takes her baby son, Dylan, to the corner store. She turns her back for only a few seconds. When she looks again, she sees his empty stroller as Dylan is being abducted into a waiting van. Maria climbs into the van but is violently thrown to the road, where she is left for dead as the vehicle vanishes without a trace. As Maria fights for her life and her anguished young husband keeps a bedside vigil, the FBI and police across metro Sea-Tac and Washington State search for Dylan.

Seattle Mirror reporter Jason Wade is under pressure to bring in a big story, and the Colson kidnapping could be it. Then Jason and his dad, a private detective haunted by his former life as a cop, discover a grisly murder of a young woman that is somehow connected to the Colsons. Now, in a dark Seattle underground of desperate dreamers and ex-convicts, Jason embarks on an investigation that parallels one led by Homicide Detective Grace Garner. They're both hunting for the one piece of the puzzle that connects the baby's disappearance with a spine-tingling case of revenge. And time is running out.

Critic reviews

"Pushes crackling suspense to the breaking point and beyond...a must read!" (Kay Hooper, New York Times best-selling author)

Pressure packed and suspenseful

Every fear is the second installment in the Jason Wade series. Its another bang up mystery with a twist, told from the young reporter's perspective.

This time fading circulation adds to the tension as Jason's editor is as big of a jerk as I have ever encountered in fictional. Perhaps it was a bit overdone , but through that on going conflict we learn about the pressures in the newsroom.

This story is a bit of a mind bender. It reveals how easily evidence fueled by suspicions can be so easily misinterpreted. (Something we should all keep in mind in this political climate.)

Even though this series exposes a reporter's world, it cannot do so without being every bit a police procedural.

Loved it!

Narrator

I found it very hard to listen to Paul Costanzo because of the way he whistles his S’s, especially with headphones. Sorry

ENJOYED

This series has been great! I have really enjoyed it - kept me wanting to listen more! Onto the next one!

Heart breaking..

Such a vivid story told making you feel like you are right there within the story itself. Sad, gripping heart retching story that could possibly be true. Excellent story, excellent performance..

Great read…

Very nice story line and character development. Great plot movement as well. I really enjoy the writing style and sense of humor even with such a serious subject.
