Publisher's summary

Sergeant David Wolf has put his Special Forces days long behind him, settling down as a cop in the small ski resort town of Rocky Points, Colorado. He's a good cop who's seen bad days before, but none quite like this.

As if narrowly escaping an attempt on his life, his addict ex-wife being back in the picture, and complications to his all-but-certain appointment to sheriff weren't enough, he's just received word that his brother has committed suicide in the Alps of Italy.

Devastation and resentment over his only sibling's selfish act quickly gives way to a nagging suspicion that he isn't getting the whole truth. Conviction alone is enough to pull Wolf from pressing events in his ski resort home of Rocky Points, Colorado, to the entirely foreign land of Northern Italy, and into a more deadly situation than he could have possibly imagined.

With the help of a beautiful young officer of the Carabinieri, Wolf must piece together the mystery of his brother's last fateful night without ruffling too many feathers, or paying the ultimate price.

A gritty tale of international mystery and action, Foreign Deceit is the first in the popular David Wolf mystery series.

Excellent listen and story!

Lots of different characters and voices - all well done. I was a bit worried that the author had tried to include too many twists (nomination of new sheriff, local murder investigation, death of his brother and investigation of that murder in Paris) but the author pulled it off. The characters are well developed, the lead is very likable and we root for him. The story moves right along making it hard to find a place to stop - I just kept wanting to see what happens next. Even going so far as to download the next book in the series so that once I finished this one I could pick right up with the story. I hope the other books become available from Audible soon and are performed by Sean Hopkins. Great series.

Good book.

The book was pretty good overall. Good mystery, good story line. There was one part at the beginning which made no sense in how it was handled. It did make a difference in what happened at the end of the book, and because I found that part so unrealistic, I took off a star. Overall I still do want to read or listen to the other books in the series.

start of a great Series

narrator is easy to listen to and does the different characters sufficiently to understand how each character feels..thinks.

the author and narrator are new to me. I've started on book 2 of David wolf series it has a baldacci feel to the book. thoroughly enjoyable for many hours of listening.

Page turner

Well written, and narated! Kept me glued to the story constantly. Can't wait to read /listen to follow-up!

A nice story in a good performance

An interesting opening book that has potential for a great Series and should have lots of interesting plot twist with it as well as an OK performance

Cliffhanger

Hated, Hated the ending. I don't like cliffhangers. Or " to be continued". Especially with books! Most authors write a book per year or two! No thanks. I will not, not, not get any other books by this author. Not even the free books.

Novel #1 of the 9 novel David Wolf series

Unfortunately the other 8 novels in this wonderful detective thriller series are not yet available in audio format. David Wolf is a an ex-green beret soldier who is now a deputy sheriff in Colorado. The sheriff is retiring and he is in the running for the job. He is notified his brother has committed suicide in Italy and takes a week off to investigate because he is convinced his brother would never kill himself. Most of this novel occurs in Italy. Foreign Deceit is a solid thriller with action and suspense. Narration is also outstanding.

This series starts well but gets even better with later books. I hope audio version will be available for what is a 5 star police procedural series.

I’m liking this Wolf guy!

Sheriff’s Deputy, David Wolf, is a smart, yet unassuming guy. He doesn’t suffer fools easily…whether it’s solving the death of a teenager in his county, or finding his brother’s killers on foreign soil. Great start to the series and now to binge read/listen to more Wolf!

Looking forward to the second in this series..

A good character in a perfect Colorado setting for future stories in a series. Looking forward to the next Wolf adventure.

Lousy ending

Author takes a lot of time developing a subplot, then drops it like a lead balloon at the end.
