Don Winslow's Final Score 6 swish shot stories.

A prohibition tale, Godfather speak narrative, return of
Power of Dog & Dawn Patrol, a brothers keeper yarn,
Collision a twisty, surprise finish life fable.

A fun book of American life story sagas.

Even those of us who prefer reading to audiobooks must admit that some book/voice actor pairings are too irresistible to pass up. Two bangers for your immediate consideration:

Samuel L. Jackson reads A RAGE IN HARLEM.

Mia Farrow reads ROSEMARY’S BABY.
