About this audiobook
A Wall Street Journal bestseller.
The gripping third book in the bestselling Sydney Rose Parnell series.
Railway cop and former Marine Sydney Parnell is on the hunt. So is a killer she knows only as the Alpha. They’re in a race to find Malik, an eleven-year-old Iraqi boy with secrets to guard. Sydney wants to help him. The Alpha wants him dead.
From the dark alleys of Mexico City to the mean streets of Denver, Sydney and her K9 partner, Clyde, use their wits and determination to chase down the ruthless killer. But when their path collides with his, Sydney realizes just how far-reaching and sinister the Alpha’s past is. And how far he’s willing to go to save his secrets.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Easy to read predicable western.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Ambush by Luke Short was originally published as a serialization in the Saturday Evening Post and ran from December 1948 to February 1949. This is an old time western, set on U.S. Army Fort in Arizona, the enemy are a band of renegade Apaches who have broken from the reservation under the leadership of a fierce war leader called Diablito. They had attacked a surveyor party and had taken a white woman as captive. I don’t know if this book was ever made into a movie, but I certainly pictured Randolph Scott as the lead character.Perhaps because it was stretched to fit the serial format, I found that it felt a little padded, it seemed to take a long time for the cavalry to actually leave the fort in pursuit of the Indians and there was a minor sub-plot that would have tightened the story had it been removed. Luke Short wrote many fine westerns, but I felt that Ambush was not the best example of how good he could be.
