A Colter Shaw Novel

Length: 11 hrs and 6 mins

Publisher's summary

"The master of ticking-bomb suspense" (People) returns with a devilishly good thriller, and reward seeker Colter Shaw's most personal case to date.

Just hours after the harrowing events of The Never Game and The Goodbye Man, Colter Shaw finds himself in San Francisco, where he has taken on the mission his father began years ago: finding a missing courier bag containing evidence that will bring down a corporate espionage firm responsible for hundreds, perhaps thousands, of deaths.

Following the enigmatic clues his father left behind, Shaw plays cat and mouse with the company's sadistic enforcers, as he speeds from one gritty neighborhood in the City by the Bay to another. Suddenly, the job takes on a frightening urgency: Only by finding the courier bag can he expose the company and stop the murder of an entire family - slated to die in 48 hours.

With the help of an unexpected figure from his past, and with the enforcers closing the net, Shaw narrows in on the truth - and learns that the courier bag contains something unexpected: a secret that could only be described as catastrophic.

Filled with dozens of twists and reversals, The Final Twist is a nonstop race against time to save the family...and to keep the devastating secret Shaw has uncovered from falling into the wrong hands.

Critic reviews

"Jeffery Deaver’s action-packed ‘The Final Twist’ is a nail-biter...[it] begs for another visit with Colter.” (South Florida Sun-Sentinel)

“Jeffery Deaver’s The Final Twist lives up to its name admirably, even delivering said twist on the very last page of the book.” (BookPage, starred review)

"[The Final Twist] is clearly the best of the series so far.” (Booklist)

another deaver home run

typical deaver. takes you down several paths and gives you several dead ends before you finally start to figure things out. entertaining.

the Final Twist

This is a great story. I love this series. and the narrator is great. He makes you feel like you know the characters.

Great series

Love this series! Jeffery Deaver never disappoints. I do enjoy listening to Kaleo Griffith.

Still like the main character. Not the inaccuracy.

See previous review re: giving Shaw's mom multiple professions. Not impossible but she'd have to have been a genius who started college at 10 or 12.
Wolf packs in eastern California? Nope. Only at Mt. Lassen near Shasta.
Saying the homeless either have schizophrenia or borderline personality disorder? Um, no. Substance-induced psychotic disorder, some Schizophrenic, some Bipolar, some PTSD. Borderline? Really. Most Borderline folks are quite functional.

The car in the movie Bullitt a Dodge Charger????? Good gravy. Clearly, Mr. Deaver did not SEE the movie. It was a Ford Mustang!!!!!

Phenomenal

Great production!! Phenomenal story!!! My current favorite by Deaver!!!! Phenomenal plot and character development… I think Deaver is my new favorite author! I can’t get enough of him!

FAMILY IS EVERYTHING

Family should always come first. Never understand estimate the lengths they will go to protect their own. Miss understandings can always be forgiven.

Loved book

The third book is the best. It takes the first 2 to give a complex family history and develop the characters. Wonderful insight into living off the land and being a survivalist. Throughly enjoyed.

not the bet not the worst kinda boring narrator ok

boring,
not the bet not the worst kinda boring
narrator ok thought it was slow

fu....ing great like always

I wasn't expecting something less from one of my favorites authors, Deaver is fucking amazing and I can't wait for the next one.....

Excellent ending to the series

This series ender was all that I hoped for. lots of twists and turns but nothing too obvious. I hope Mr. Deaver continues this character for some time to come. if so, I am very much looking forward to the next Colter Shaw book.
