About this audiobook
Avid hunter Jake Crosby is thrilled that his nine-year-old daughter Katy shares his love of the outdoors. His wife, Morgan, on the other hand, does not, which means Jake and Katy enjoy an abundance of hunting, fishing, and camping trips together. So when they head off into the Alabama woods for a spring turkey hunt, Jake expects nothing out of the ordinary. But even his worst nightmares could not prepare him for what befalls them that evening, when a band of drug dealers attempts to break into their remote camp. Desperate to protect his daughter and himself, Jake makes a gut-wrenching decision. His quick thinking enables him and Katy to escape…but brings the gang of vengeful criminals hot on their trail. Gambling on his knowledge of the land and hunting skills, he leads their bloodthirsty pursuers on a perilous cat-and-mouse game deep within the Noxubee River swamp. Jake knows they all won’t come out alive—but he will do whatever is necessary to make sure Katy does. Taut and engrossing, The Dummy Line explores what happens when an ordinary man is pushed to extraordinary lengths to protect the one he loves most and those for whom he feels responsible.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Trapped in the woods of Alabama, hunter Jake Crosby and his daughter must escape some very frightful criminals as they track them down, determined to kill them. Bobby Cole’s first novel is a no holds barred, suspenseful, can’t put the book down story. There is no build up, the action comes right at the beginning and continues through the book. The story is well-written and the locale is realistically described. The characters are believable, some more than others. Reminiscent of “Deliverance“. All in all, a good book.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A quickly paced, quick read! A father and daughter go turkey hunting and come across a pack of felonious rednecks who immediately start trouble! The rednecks chase them, and two more people, and the sheriff and his deputies can't make head or tails of all the trouble! Shots ring out, blood gets spilled, and one man must do his best to protect those he can! Like I say it is a really quick read, and is even divided into 86 (!) chapters to facilitate the fast paced action!
