The Mountain

Ryan Decker, Book 3

By: Steven Konkoly

Narrated by: Thom Rivera

The Wall Street Journal bestselling series

Investigating a missing persons case on Murder Mountain means looking for trouble in a propulsive thriller by the author of The Raid.

When someone disappears on Northern California’s lawless Murder Mountain, it isn’t news. The vast terrain for illegal marijuana harvests is also a notorious black hole for outsiders. But when that someone is the family friend of the persuasive and righteous Senator Steele, finding him becomes covert investigator Ryan Decker’s mission.

For Decker, the risks of infiltrating a multibillion-dollar outlaw industry are greater than he could possibly understand. Especially when that industry has flourished into the profitable backbone of a secretive and influential DC-based think tank. And protecting its untraceable revenue in the Emerald Triangle is a band of ruthless white nationalists.

What begins as a seemingly straightforward favor soon pulls Decker and his partner, Harlow Mackenzie, into a high-stakes conspiracy linked to the most cold-blooded puppet masters and power brokers in the country. The harder Decker and Harlow work to expose the insidious faction, the harder it’ll be to make it out of Murder Mountain alive.

A lot of action

This book has non-stop action with clear vision of background support. Keep ‘me coming!

Couldn’t put it down

Just had cataract surgery so audio was a convenient distraction to get through a book. Couldn’t put it down. I’m looking forward to Skystorm.

I Shouldn’t Have Waited So Long

I shouldn’t of waited as long as I did to read this book, it has to be Steven’s best work yet. I looked for every opportunity I could to listen to more of this Ryan Decker installment. I am excited to see where the story goes next.

Not a Bad Story

I read the first two books and enjoyed those. I thought I would do the audio version of this one. I really didn't like the reader. His voices, especially for the women were not good. I don't know if his reading accentuated it, but there were parts that the writing seemed awkward. I did feel that way when I read the other books.

New Author!!

Have just listen to the first three books in the Ryan Decker series. I cannot wait to hear the rest of them and go onto another series. Steven Konkoly is awesome.!!

A Pattern

Yes, I am a bit slow on this, but I have noticed that these Ryan Decker books have developed into a predictable pattern of events. There are always one or two minor shoot outs with people that can only be designated as bullet magnets culminating in a major shoot out with even more people that seem to be genetically predisposed to drawing flying bullets to them. Over all, the plot has a good concept in each book. It’s just events develop into a repetitive pattern with always the same people winning.

Another great mystery

Great to have Ryan Decker back. Story was great and can't wait for book 4.

Fast paced and exciting

Excellent and surprising plot with many twists and turns, well paced action with believable characters. This was really great.

Another great one by Steve Konkoly!

Konkoly doesn't disappoint in this action/crime novel. Narrator is great as always. Great choice for those who lose attention quickly if a story slows down too much. Konkoly also ads the right amount of humor to cause you to laugh aloud every so often.

Can't wait for the next book!

Love the characters and the story line from book to book. This one prepped me really good for what's to come. Can't wait!
