Publisher Description
Jonathan Stride and Serena Dial are both investigating high-profile murders in Las Vegas. A celebrity is assassinated during a fling with a prostitute, and a young boy is killed in a brutal hit-and-run incident.
When the cases converge, Jonathan and Serena find themselves racing the clock against a determined serial killer and searching for a connection to the unsolved murder of a showgirl years earlier.
Freeman’s vivid cast of characters exposes all of Las Vegas’ dirty secrets, past and present, and in a rooftop showdown amid the ruins of a 1960s-era casino, the chase comes to a stunning climax.
Stripped pushes the emotional and sexual limits of its heroes and keeps the listener riveted until the last shocking plot twist.

"Brian Freeman does not disappoint! I thought I was clever piecing together the puzzle before the characters did...we were all wrong! I love that while I'm on the edge of my seat whizzing through the pages my mind is constantly recalling earlier passages, trying to think like the detectives or the perp and then trying to keep up with the author. Brian Freeman books are good exercise for the brain! Highly recommend him!"

“Barrett deftly handles the rapid-fire dialogue, believable plot shifts, and wide variety of voices and accents. In dusky, appealing tones, Barrett turns Freeman’s deliciously decadent diversion into compelling listening. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

“The suspense mounts as Stride and Dial each face personal demons while delving into Sin City’s past…Highly recommended.”
— Library Journal -
“Freeman depicts his characters well, especially the good-natured Stride; his cop girlfriend, Serena Dial; and his partner, Amanda. Freeman has crafted a strong narrative, rife with sex and violence."
— Publishers Weekly -

" I am hoping this is as good as his first! "
— Diane, 2/17/2014 -
" It was an okay murder mystery with all the right twists. I will be happy if Stride goes back home. I think having it in Vegas is an excuse to put in alot of unnecessary sex. It was just too much for me. "
— Karyn, 2/17/2014 -
" I love everything Brian Freeman, and I'm so stoked I found this author. Of the three books he has published and I've read this may be my least favorite just because it was more vegas & mob than anything. Still a great book just wasn't expecting the vegas setting throughout the entire book, I'm used to Stride being in MN! it's surely worth the read though! "
— Amanda, 2/3/2014 -
" Just enough intrigue to keep me reading to the end, but otherwise forgettable. I wouldn't go looking for this author again. "
— Juta, 1/20/2014 -
" Great book, clever twists will read next in series. "

" DECTICTIVE FROM MINNESOTA IN LAS VEGAS WITH A TRANSVISTITE PARTNER. GOOD READ NEAT ENDING "
— Walt, 10/9/2012 -
" I didn't like it as much as his Immoral, but I am still a fan of Brian Freeman. Las Vegas settings are all too common. I like his Minnesota stories better so I'm glad Jonny and Serena are headed back to the cold country. On to his The Burying Place. "
— Pat, 10/4/2012 -
" Again with this guy, characters more compelling than the case. I have his third and fourth books waiting to be read but can't get too fired up about them... "
— Kristy, 9/12/2012 -
" This second Stride story really take off. I read it while we were having close to 100 degree temperatures and no rain yet this month. Much like the Las Vegas weather in the story. The characters in this story were more interesting than in the previous Stride story. "
— Papalodge, 9/12/2012 -
" I'm in love with Amanda's character!!! "

" Everyone of these books has and ending you don't expect. These should be read in order. The baggage is excessive. "
— Hrn1947, 3/19/2011 -
" Started out fairly stereotypical, to the point where I almost put it away. About 1/3 of the way in it got better and I'm glad I stuck with it, it was worth it in the end "
— Richard, 1/21/2011 -

" I liked the first novel in the Jonathan Stride series, but I tired of this one about halfway through. I read to the end, but found the finale disappointing. "
— Christine, 11/9/2010 -
" Read this one while I was on my Minnesota mysteries week - altho it features Stride and Serena, it is set in Vegas. Good present day story with ties to the 50's Vegas and all its sins. "
— Martha, 8/9/2010 -
