Resumen del Editor

A former Medal of Valor winner, Minnesota detective Alexander Rupert is now under subpoena by a grand jury on suspicion of corruption. So when he's asked to look into the false identity of a car-accident victim named James Putnam, a man who in fact died 15 years earlier, Rupert sees a potentially big case and an opportunity to regain his respectability.

But the investigation puts him in the path of "the Beast", the nom de guerre of Drago Basta, a cunning veteran of the Balkan wars and a sociopath assassin who has been searching for Putnam for years. Putnam had something that Basta still wants. If Rupert's life was in shambles before, it's now also in danger. Threatened by the Beast and suspecting his wife of cheating, Rupert falls for the seductions of the dead man's former girlfriend. As he feels his life spinning out of control, his steadfast brother and fellow police detective Max may be Rupert's last hope.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"It's a taut, intelligent, heart-ripping story that explores the darkest places in the human psyche." (William Kent Krueger, author of Iron Lake)

hokey narration

terrible narration but the story was quite good. I finished because I really wanted to know what happened.

Great Story

this is a great story and I would recommend listening but not quite the ending that I was hoping for

Women need to read women's parts.

I like the book it's the second from Allen askens I have read. My only grip is if there are going to be women parts there needs to be a woman reading it. It sounds like a bunch of ugly cross dressing guys posing as women in the book.

Excellent Read

Where does The Guise of Another rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This ranks towards the top of my favorites. I was happy to discover Eskens. This is the second of two books to which I've listened. Both very well written and thought out.

What did you like best about this story?

Uniqueness of story and variety of 'scenery'. Complexity of levels.

Enjoyed the book-good twist!

Enjoyed the storyline/ had a different approach and entertaining without weighing you down-- a good read!

The Guise of Another

This is the 3rd Allen Eskens' book I've read. It was well thought out and had a number of intriguing twists. I didn't enjoy it as much as The Life We Bury or The Heavens May Fall, but it was still a good read. There were several killings described very graphically, and I fast-forwarded my audio book right through them. Mr. Eskens doesn't need to give every detail of murder. I hope he lightens up for his next book.

Another great book by Allen Eskens!

I liked the way the way the book moved effortlessly along. Even though the story line was predictable at times I couldn't stop listening. I'll read the next book Allen Eskens writes.

Captivating

This book was great, it will hold your attention the entire time. Didn't want to stop listening even for work

a good read

the story flowed well and kept the action up, not a bad listen at all

Glad I listened

I enjoyed this book more than I expected to. I bought it on a whim and I'm glad I did. I nearly returned it within the first few chapters but I am glad I didn't. Turned out to be a good book. I really enjoyed it.
