What to expect
Jonathan Stride and Serena Dial are both investigating high-profile murders in Las Vegas. A celebrity is assassinated during a fling with a prostitute, and a young boy is killed in a brutal hit-and-run incident.
When the cases converge, Jonathan and Serena find themselves racing the clock against a determined serial killer and searching for a connection to the unsolved murder of a showgirl years earlier.
Freeman’s vivid cast of characters exposes all of Las Vegas’ dirty secrets, past and present, and in a rooftop showdown amid the ruins of a 1960s-era casino, the chase comes to a stunning climax.
Stripped pushes the emotional and sexual limits of its heroes and keeps the listener riveted until the last shocking plot twist.
Critics Review
-
“Barrett deftly handles the rapid-fire dialogue, believable plot shifts, and wide variety of voices and accents. In dusky, appealing tones, Barrett turns Freeman’s deliciously decadent diversion into compelling listening. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

“The suspense mounts as Stride and Dial each face personal demons while delving into Sin City’s past…Highly recommended.”
Library Journal
-
“Freeman depicts his characters well, especially the good-natured Stride; his cop girlfriend, Serena Dial; and his partner, Amanda. Freeman has crafted a strong narrative, rife with sex and violence."
Publishers Weekly

“What sets the author apart are his rich, complex characters…Recommended for fans of Harlan Coben, who will enjoy the compelling cast and swift, sinuous plot.”
