BARKER'S BACK SOLVING CRIME WITH HIS PACK OF ADORABLE CANINES!

Barker, the mysterious homeless detective with no memory of his past, returns in the wild, third installment of the Barker Mysteries. Sequestered in a thrown-together shack beneath the soggy planks of California’s Old Fisherman’s Wharf, Barker and his gaggle of street dogs have kept largely to themselves since the events of Monterey Pulp.

When three teenagers go missing in Carmel-by-the-Sea, and an incriminating note is Ieft on the beach below his barnacle-covered home, Barker is thrust into pulse-pounding action. From the sinister friar of the historic Carmel Mission to an encounter with crime boss Sleepy Redbone in the sweltering red rocks of Sedona, Arizona, our reluctant hero faces his greatest threats and learns a secret to his past he thought lost to him: his first name.

First teenagers are going missing, then Barker disappears leaving his pack of dogs roaming. Barker is the victim of revenge and retaliation, but can he get home safely?! The narration is excellent. I received a free audiobook code for my honest review.

This is the third and final book in the series, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Barker and his sharp instincts, along with his loyal four-legged sidekicks, made for an unforgettable ride. But honestly, I’m not ready to say goodbye—I’m crossing my fingers for another book because there’s no such thing as too much Barker!

Third book....good conclusion to the series

As of 11/14/24, Audible lists this as the first book in the series, but it is not. It is the third book, so don't read this one first, unless you like to live on the wild side. I've only listened to half so far and enjoyed it. It is a noir genre story and quite enjoyable. I lived in Monterey and really enjoy the sense of place the author evokes.

Fun story, --- NB: THIS IS BOOK 3, not book 1
