Synopsis

Pushed to his breaking point and accused of murder, retired NYPD detective Dave Gurney must face his greatest adversary yet to solve a mystery that is quickly tearing his world apart

Tennis bad boy Zeko Slade is serving twenty years for the grisly murder of small-time criminal Lenny Lerman. The facts of the case—and Slade’s checkered past—seem indisputable. What begins as a cursory review of the case as a favor to Dave Gurney’s wife’s friend soon spirals into something much more complicated. When Gurney’s involvement threatens to expose a viper’s nest of corruption, he finds himself framed for murder and pursued by a sensational media, a ruthless district attorney, and a coldblooded killer.

As he evades the law and attempts to solve the case to salvage his reputation, Gurney grapples with the realization that his unshakable need for police work is costing him more than the brilliant detective ever suspected. The Viper is the most shocking and riveting chapter yet in the internationally bestselling Dave Gurney series.

Goodreads review by Germán on June 16, 2023

Catorce años llevo ya siguiendo, esperando y disfrutando, con las andanzas del detective retirado Dave Gourney. Y ésta es ya la octava entrega de la saga. Quizá pueda ser la más transgresora en cuanto a los pilares que sujetan la vida del protagonista, y eso le confiere un aire innovador. Es ciertam......more

Goodreads review by Romeo on July 19, 2023

He leído la saga completa de siete libros en más de una ocasión y este último octavo libro me provocó una sensación final que nunca había experimentado con los demás. Hasta ahora los demás libros, más allá de las particularidades de sus casos, siempre llegaban al fin con un patrón común. Un final do......more

Goodreads review by Raul on September 02, 2023

Este libro podría ser el claro ejemplo de serie agotada. No veo por ningún lado lo que me sorprendió en la primera entrega de la saga. Siendo sincero, el bajón no ha sido de golpe, ya las últimas entregas daban síntomas de agotamiento, pero el desplome total de esta entrega hacen que dude mucho en q......more

Goodreads review by Shirley on September 08, 2023

Disappointed with this by one of my favourite authors. :( I was over joyed when this book came out in time for cottage vacation and here I am finishing it in September. Reading a John Verdon book usually gives me a mystery that I can't even imagine how it will be solved, leading to clever explanatio......more
