About this listen

 Stephen Jay Schwartz delivers an intense, nonstop thrill-ride in this shocking new novel about a Los Angeles Police Department Robbery-Homicide detective who must find a killer responsible for a series of murders that are directly related to him.

LAPD detective and former vice cop Hayden Glass is a sex addict. The addiction has ruined his marriage and continues to complicate every aspect of his life. But regular attendance in Sex Addicts Anonymous meetings has helped keep his behavior from affecting his career. That is, until he suspects that three macabre and seemingly unrelated murders are linked to his meetings and targeted directly at him. The rift between his private secrets and his duty to uphold the law plays out against an ever-shortening timetable in which to save his own life and the lives of the people he loves.

Critic reviews

"Schwartz does a fine job of blurring the lines between sexuality and violence, the criminal world and the police world." ( Publishers Weekly)

I enjoyed this racey book, but for many it may be too strong! The "hero" is a sex addict and it has to be said whilst a thriller, the book would not be out of place in the "Erotica" category. If it were a film it would be a definite 18, not just for the sexual content, but for the descriptions of some very violent and sadistic murder scenes. The journey with the "hero" resembles a nightmare, for whatever he does, the killer seems one step ahead, and you know that in spite of it's setting, Hollywood, the ending will not traditionally reflect it's setting. I kept trying to anticipate the final twist but didn't get it in spite of the clues, although I think the author deliberately misleads readers/listeners at one point; but hell that's authors for you! Well read with good characterisations, if you like your thrillers strong; I think you will enjoy it.

Not for the faint hearted!

Would you consider the audio edition of Boulevard to be better than the print version?

Started a bit slow but twisted and turned to its climax. Some interesting characters especially the main one.

Another excellent narration

Was looking forward to listening to this book but actually found it a bit of a chore. Don't get me wrong - I like a book with a flawed hero, and I like books that explores the character of the protagonist, but the author spends far too much of the book concentrating on character and nowhere near enough on plot. I also found that a couple of the plot developments did not ring true. I will say that it is extremely well read, however.

Disappointed
