About this audiobook

In the tradition of Mickey Spillane, Greg Rucka creates stories of suspense and danger set in a dark and violent world. Like Keeper, his first Atticus Kodiac novel, Rucka keeps the pace and the surprises in Finder coming at breakneck speed. During his last job as bodyguard, Atticus lost his best friend. Now, as bouncer in a rough New York nightclub called The Strap, trouble has found him again. At the bar, Atticus sees the 15-year-old daughter of a ruthless Colonel he guarded in the Army. Soon, Atticus is hired by the Colonel to protect his daughter from an ex-wife. Atticus discovers, however, that he has really been pitted against rogue assassins. And the stakes are much higher than the daughter's life. Through bursts of gunfire and brutal ambushes, Atticus struggles to keep his promise to protect the girl. George Wilson's agile narration propels the listener toward Finder's explosive conclusion.

    After reading KEEPER (reviewed elsewhere), I immediately dove into FINDER, the second in Rucka's Atticus Kodiak series. KEEPER was clearly a novice's book, and I wanted to see if Rucka could do better the second time around.He does.Characters are still fairly superficial, the plot still suffers from some inconsistencies, but there is an effort on Rucka's part to tell a story. He actually almost succeeds. This is still comic-book action in words, and violence defines the structure of the narrative, but, compared to KEEPER, FINDER shows some improvement on Rucka's grasp of his series

    The general characterization of a bodyguard and all the trappings of that kind of work, is interesting and different. Also, Atticus wears glasses and hates cars and those are unusual characteristics of a thriller hero. In some ways, the author got the characters just right. The two women in Atticus’s life are interesting too, but shallower. For example, we don’t find out that Atticus wears two earrings in one ear until 1/3 of the way into the book, but it’s one of the first things we’re told about Bridget. The women are mostly described in looks, as is the norm. But the author was trying. Being a man he probably can’t see women very clearly as anything but a body so he is handicapped. Same with Natalie – she’s described as an ageing model and very little is described of her expertise in security and protection. We know she must have an impressive history to be able to run the caliber of agency she does, but we don’t hear about it. Then there was the Colonel who was way overblown as ‘the bad guy’. He only referred to women as whores or the c word and was a completely irretrievable asshole. In the end he’s left alone and dying of AIDS, but I don’t think that humbled him much. I was hoping for more of a comeuppance but alas, the subtle ending.

    After his last assignment, bodyguard Atticus Kodiak has lost his way. Barely scraping by, he’s working as a bouncer as an S&M club in New York. One night he happens to see a former charge of his being approached by a dangerous looking man. The club is no place for a 15 year old and Atticus quickly steps in to intervene. He suddenly finds himself embroiled in a bitter custody battle, blackmail scheme and up against some of the most elite former British military officers around. Atticus will do anything to protect Erika Wyatt, even if it costs him his life.Finder was a much more enjoyable thriller than it’s predecessor, Keeper. It seemed more polished and the story was much more exciting. Perfect for a windy Monday afternoon. Atticus proves yet again he is not a man who can be easily kept down, although I do have to wonder how he keeps up his stamina even after taking so many physical blows.
