During a rare Texas freeze, Detectives Greg Rush and Rick Chinbroski investigate the discovery of a woman found dead in her bathtub. She is encased in ice with a cellular phone positioned against her ear. A note left at the scene of the crime leads the detectives to determine that they are not the only ones on the killer's trail. A woman, it seems, is desperate to help the police catch him . . . but only when she decides it's time. More notes, written in an obscure American dialect, follow, leading the detectives to California, where the woman reveals her identity . . . and that of the monster they are hunting.

When is the next book?,
By Amy (MO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Listener: A Rush/Chinbroski Novel (Paperback)
Great read. New twist on a murder mystery; you know who did it, but why can't someone tell? Hmmmm. Descriptive enough to let the reader picture what's going on, but not so wordy as to make you want to speed-read through the details. The 2 dectective partners, Rush and Chinbroski, are so different, yet seem so compatible, they get the job done. You can tell the author has a law enforcement background. Great job for a first book! Can't wait for the others in this series.

The Listener,
By
This review is from: The Listener: A Rush/Chinbroski Novel (Paperback)
This is NOT a book you want to read when you are home alone...at night. It makes one realize that the same folks who steal identities from hard information can be even more effective with information gleaned from conversations on cell or cordless phones. Scare--y! But you've gotta love Greg Rush.

Better than Patterson! Much better.,
This review is from: The Listener: A Rush/Chinbroski Novel (Paperback)
If you like the sort of thing James Patterson tries to write, then you'll love Steve Copling's book, "The Listener". Chilling. Esoteric and accurate. Makes you wish you never had to speak on a cell phone or cordless unit ever again. You can't put this one down. (I know, I tried.) Copling knows how to keep your heart in a vice, and your mind reeling from scene to scene. You are there, every step of the way, as Detectives Rush and Chinbroski are drawn into the strangest hi-tech gutter war you could never imagine was even possible, and you'll find yourself cheering them on--AND cheering for Leigh, a highly-motivated new kind of female savvy-survivor hero driven way past the edge of sanity and thrown into a dangerous world peopled with unique and memorable characters from serial killers to ex-CIA Operatives to Cornell Lawyers.The landscape Copling works with is so rich in detail and strong with characters and relationships that I feel I know these people--and I want to see more of them and find out what happens to them next. "The Listener" promises to be just the first in a Rush/Chinbroski series, but I really want to know what's going to happen with Mallory and Nanci and the trio of experts over at that strange cinder block building at 10th and Vine called B&A Enterprises.... C'mon, Copling, tell us more!
