About this audiobook

"HIGH CRIMES is the P.I. novel for our moment, not just because of its backdrop of political tension, but because of the resilient strength of its characters. Georgia Davis is a terrific lead, and Libby Fischer Hellmann calls on her own journalism background to add layers of realism to this all-too plausible plot." Michael Koryta, NYT bestselling author of HOW IT HAPPENED

“In this ripped from the headlines and rocket-paced thriller, Libby Fischer Hellmann is at the top of her game. You won’t stop turning the pages, gripped by every twist and turn. And the tough, smart Georgia Davis is sure to take her place among the top female PIs in crime fiction.” Lisa Unger, New York Times bestselling author of UNDER MY SKIN

“Entertaining...(Georgia is) a shrewd investigator... for readers who watch the nightly news with dismay, the novel offers a satisfying alternate reality.” Publishers Weekly

How do you solve a murder when there are 42,000 suspects?

That’s the task facing Chicago PI Georgia Davis, hired to hunt down those behind the assassination of Resistance leader Dena Baldwin at a demonstration fourteen months after the 2016 election. The gunman, on a nearby hotel rooftop, dies within minutes of the shooting. As Georgia sifts through Dena’s 42,000 Facebook followers, she discovers that unknown enemies hiding behind fake profiles have infiltrated the group. She finds others who will do whatever it takes—including murder—to shield right-wing, wealthy elites. Threats and bruises have never frightened Georgia, but she’s side-swiped by the sudden reappearance of her mother, who abandoned her when she was a child. Can she survive a family crisis at the same time she pursues killers whose only goal is to protect themselves?

Ratings and reviews

I got this Audio book from Adopt a Audio book. This book is definitely for people who dislike President Trump. Good book I think it would have been better if the author kept her political preferences to her self.

family-dynamics, fanatics, political-intrigue, Chicago, thriller, suspense, private-investigators, law-enforcement Chicago. Politics. Corruption. Conspiracy. Murder. All that and much more in this novel that could be pulled from this morning's Tribune. The characters are interesting and sometimes quite disturbing, and the plot is ingenious and demanding. No spoilers. Just read it! It seems that this is book 5 in series which I am new to, but no floundering because it is perfectly fine as a standalone. The narration by Eva Kaminsky is fantastic! Clear voice and the characters are well delineated. I requested and received a free audio copy from the author courtesy of AudioBookBOOM.
