Night Owl

A Trasker Thriller (Trasker, Book 1)

By: Andrew Mayne

Narrated by: James Anderson Foster

A shocking act of sabotage draws a retired spy into a deadly conspiracy in an explosive thriller by an Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling author.

After three decades in counterintelligence, Brad Trasker is retired, disillusioned, and dealing with a tragic loss. Spy games are behind him until he attends the launch of a next-generation aircraft. When the project of innovative aerospace CEO Kylie Connor explodes on the tarmac—nearly killing her in the process—Trasker is pulled back into the line of fire.

The mystery of the sabotage quickly deepens. All Kylie’s data has been wiped from the server. One of her engineers has disappeared. A seed investor has died in a suspicious car accident. And a cold-blooded murder raises the stakes even higher.

To discover who’s pulling the strings behind a dangerous conspiracy, Trasker needs to find a motive. Corporate espionage, revenge, or something he can’t yet see? Targeted by assassins, he finds himself overmatched when he realizes he can’t trust anyone—including Kylie. Too long out of a game he no longer understands, Trasker must adapt or die.

Critic reviews

“[T]he pace never flags. A brisk, competent thriller…”—Kirkus Reviews

“Andrew Mayne knows how to write intelligent, well-researched thrillers, and Night Owl is no exception.”—Bookreporter

Lots of action!

If spy thrillers are your thing, then you will definitely enjoy this one!
Former CIA operative, Trasker, is hired by the CEO of a small aerospace company after her prototype plane is blown up. Trasker must work quickly to find the person behind the many attempts on her life…before they succeed! Fast paced story with excellent narration.

Excellent performance by James Anderson Foster

A very intriguing mystery! If subsequent books in this serieins are equally gripping, I'll be reading them all. Of course, I generally read every book Andrew Mayne writes, but I really like the main character, 'Brad' Trasker. To me, he is the epitome of an undercover operative. However, he doesn't act like it. I would be reading along, then I'd realized he's just put things in motion that I didn't see coming. The 'mission' involves a top secret aircraft and a young billionaire whose company and life may be at stake. The story never drags and brings in plenty of intrigue. The audible performance by James Anderson Foster is excellent. -Mr.Bill
