About this listen
When the mayor of New York City’s grandson and the grandson’s wife are murdered execution style in their Tribeca apartment, NYPD Detective Louis Martelli and his partner, Detective Sean O’Keeffe, are left completely in the dark. Months go by without any actionable leads until a meeting with the wife’s doctor and the bizarre torching of Stephanie Martelli’s car turn the investigation upside down and land Martelli and O’Keeffe in the hot seat.
When an old friend of Pietro Martelli's, Louis’ deceased father and a former street cop who had been gunned down in the line of duty, sends Martelli a note asking for a meeting, things take an even stranger turn. The evidence in this mob-driven case of political corruption, bribery, and murder pits the two detectives against their boss, Captain Hanlon, NYPD Commissioner of Police Eugene Fields, and his honor, the mayor.
Can Martelli and O’Keeffe survive this kind of pressure and keep their jobs, much less solve the case?
You’ll have to listen to Eighth Circle to learn the answers.

Cohen's style of writing is that of gritty reality, with careful description and believable characters and action. It was difficult to believe that this was a fictional story, even including an afterward to inform the reader of the future fates of characters included. And the partnership of the detectives was well presented as well as believable.
Narration is by Gregg Rizzo who has a most pleasant voice, reads well with good pacing and is a perfect fitting for Detective Martelli. Sadly, not so much for other characters. Whilst each is individually voiced, several are unpleasant, nasal or even almost inappropriately comedic and marred the ongoing listening, making it difficult for this reader to listen in the continuity preferred.
My first encounter with this author and his detective series of which this is book five, but it stood perfectly well alone without my having read the earlier books. I hope soon to remedy this, starting with book one (which has an alternative narrator). My thanks to the right's holder of Eighth Circle who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy. It was a good and enjoyable read..
