ONCE IN, NEVER OUT by Dan Mahoney (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

“A satisfying police whodunit…Mahoney doesn’t sell his readers short…He keeps the action moving.” (Chicago Tribune)

When a bomb kills a British diplomat in Reykjavik, Iceland’s only homicide detective, Thor Erikson, crosses paths with NYPD Detective Brian McKenna, who is searching for a missing Irish-born waitress. Soon McKenna is chasing a killer with ties to Ireland, the NYPD, and a series of unsolved murders linked with other bombings.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s Earphones® Award-winning narrator, Adams Morgan. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

“Adam Morgan is a highly gifted presenter. His crisp, direct delivery cuts through this exciting story like a knife through soft butter….Mahoneyss compelling words seem to be supercharged by Morgans voice. Theres no blarney in the efforts of either man, just pure enjoyment.” (AudioFile)
