[Audiobook Excerpt] A Gambling Man (An Archer Novel, book 2) | David Baldacci | Part 01

A Gambling Man (An Archer Novel, 2) - April 20, 2021 by David Baldacci (Author).
Aloysius Archer, the straight-talking World War II veteran fresh out of prison, returns in this riveting #1 New York Times bestselling thriller from David Baldacci.
The 1950s are on the horizon, and Archer is in dire need of a fresh start after a nearly fatal detour in Poca City. So Archer hops on a bus and begins the long journey out west to California, where rumor has it there is money to be made if you’re hard-working, lucky, criminal-or all three.
Along the way, Archer stops in Reno, where a stroke of fortune delivers him a wad of cash and an eye-popping blood-red 1939 Delahaye convertible-plus a companion for the final leg of the journey, an aspiring actress named Liberty Callahan who is planning to try her luck in Hollywood. But when the two arrive in Bay Town, California, Archer quickly discovers that the hordes of people who flocked there seeking fame and fortune landed in a false paradise that instead caters to their worst addictions and fears.
Archer’s first stop is a P.I. office where he is hoping to apprentice with a legendary private eye and former FBI agent named Willie Dash. He lands the job, and immediately finds himself in the thick of a potential scandal: a blackmail case involving a wealthy well-connected politician running for mayor that soon spins into something even more sinister. As bodies begin falling, Archer and Dash must infiltrate the world of brothels, gambling dens, drug operations, and long-hidden secrets, descending into the rotten bones of a corrupt town that is selling itself as the promised land-but might actually be the road to perdition, and Archer’s final resting place.

Thanks to UA-cam blasting this with 15 commercials in the first hour. (UA-cam sucks)
Great book. I really enjoy the Baldacci stories even if i have to push all the commercials away

Full book please

Eduardo Bellarini and Brittney Presley, narrators.
Although I've been a longtime fan of both narrators individually, I would never have guessed them to be perfectly paired for Baldacci's Archer series. Pressly and Bellarini are phenomenal in their respective roles and present each of their character's distinctively and flawlessly.
