Summary

About this Audible Original

Gritty and suspenseful, Dietrich is a hard-boiled whodunnit from Audie Award-winning and internationally best-selling author Don Winslow, performed by four-time Academy Award nominee Ed Harris.

It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge.

When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

Sorrowful life

The reasons Dietrich was sad were awful. Well written crime story set in 1977 New York, and the narrator was superb. I kinda knew how this would end once a certain aspect was revealed, and so it would seem some lives succumb to the drink for circumstances out of their control. Spoilers ahead: I don’t usually read depressing fiction, I like a happy ending, but this really was structured well and resonated with me in its own way.

Gritty, Powerful and Poignant

At just over an hour this is a tightly packaged little freebie gem of a story from the great Don Winslow. It's a compelling story with a mightily powerful twist at the end. Gangsters, cops, low-life scum, alcohol and murder - what a cocktail! I will definitely listen to this again, especially as Don Winslow says he has now retired. Also, Ed Harris is the superb reader
