All the Devils

Written by Barry Eisler

Narrated by Barry Eisler

A search for a pair of serial rapists leads Livia Lone down the darkest and most dangerous trail of her life in a pulse-pounding thriller by New York Times bestselling author Barry Eisler.

Ten years ago, the daughter of Homeland Security Investigations agent B. D. Little vanished into thin air. So did seven other girls—the crimes all bearing the same signature characteristics.

Now the disappearances have begun again. And Agent Little’s efforts to investigate are being blocked by forces far above his pay grade. Desperate, he turns to Seattle sex-crimes detective Livia Lone, the most obsessive hunter of predators Little knows.

Livia will need that obsessiveness, and a lot more. Because the two men Little is pursuing are fearsome. Both Special Forces veterans with a dozen tours in Iraq between them. Both sadists and serial rapists. And one, the congressman scion of the vice president of the United States—a man who will use all his power to protect his son’s secrets and further his own ambitions.

The conspirators have all the assets and all the angles. And every reason to believe they’ll evade justice, as they always have before.

They don’t understand that for Livia Lone, justice is only a guideline. Revenge is the rule.

Reviews for All the Devils

[Douglas Cooper · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

As an avid Eisner fan I must say this is one of his best. Gripping from start to finish.

[Dedric · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

It's so fun to figure out when characters from your other book series will show up in your books.

I couldn't stop reading this one. It was one of the most compelling Barry Eisler novels I've read and that's saying a lot. Great characters.

Have been an avid reader of Mr. Eisler's novels since I picked up my first John Rain novel. He never, ever disappoints. But the last two novels have been, just WOW. I never thought he could outdo the Killer Collective. Not saying he did, but All the Devils is just as good. The characterization in his books are amazing. None of the main characters are one dimensional. Livia Lone is definitely conflicted, but she's trying to work it out. Every one of Barry's characters are memorable and seeing multiple characters in his books (especially the last two) is pretty cool. Can't wait for the next installment.

A martial arts specialist, Livia Lone is an unstoppable police detective who does not waiver in her pursuit of sexual predators no matter how well they’re connected. This book deals rape and phycological abuse. I found some of the depictions produced in the writing disturbing. Despite my subject matter repugnance, the book is well researched and written; I wouldn’t have expected anything less from Barry Eisler, the author. While I much more enjoyed the author’s other books about characters John Rain and Dox, the suspense and drama of the Livia Lone series are just as good as that in either of those series. All the Devils is a book that’s difficult to put down as the suspense keeps the reader captured.

All The Devils by Barry EislerLivia Lone #3When I met Livia Lone in The Killer Collective I knew that I had found a series I would love to follow for the foreseeable future. That book was perhaps book three in the Livia Lone series but also a book in two other series I had never heard of. When I saw this book up for review I knew I wanted to find out what Livia would be tackling next. Her focus is on sexual predators and putting them away, one way or another, and this book continues that theme. When Livia is approached by someone that lost his daughter ten years before she wasn’t sure she wanted to help out but one favor she could do...and that favor drug her into a rather serious and deadly situation. It was definitely more deadly for the bad guys who tried to take her out than it was for Livia but deadly it was throughout the book. There were two scum-bucket bad guys who were serial rapists that sometimes “disappeared” the women they preyed upon. One was in the public eye and the other his friend from the military. I have to say that these two men made me hope they would get their just desserts before the end of the book. They were truly warped and without compassion of any sort. The search for who the rapists were was intense. The people called for information were high up the ladder sometimes and Livia was lucky to know them. I admired Livia’s strength, tenacity and will to do what she felt was right. I would definitely like to have her on my side if I were in trouble. When I finished this book I was satisfied the story was told but was left eager to find out what Livia will be doing in the next book and whether or not her relationship with Carl will continue and take on more substance as time goes by. This book flows. I was caught up in the beginning and kept engaged till the end. I could “see” what was happening and felt it was believable in all the important ways. At some point in time I need to find books one and two and read those as I have a feeling there is more about Livia’s early life that I should at some point read although I have a fairly good idea what her life was like from glimpses read in the two books read so far. Did I like this book? YesWould I like to read more in this series? Without a doubtThank you to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars

When a new book in this series pops up, there are a couple of things you can safely assume. First, Eisler will deliver a wild ride full of action, suspense & characters you’ll love to hate. Second, Livia Lone is still a kickass. She survived being trafficked as a young girl but her sister didn’t. Now a detective with the Seattle PD Sex Crimes unit, she’s on a mission to make predators pay. Dearly. B. D. Little is an investigator with Homeland Security & knows the pain that comes with a missing child. Ten years ago his daughter disappeared. Using his formidable resources, he searched endlessly but all he found were similar cases. Then they stopped. Now a young girl has disappeared under familiar circumstances. It may be B.D.’s last chance to find the perpetrator & get answers. And he knows who to call for help……an old acquaintance who is just as obsessive about getting justice for these kids.Livia is still dealing with the fallout from her last little adventure (The Killer Collective) & trying to keep her head down at work. But B.D.’s story strikes a chord & Livia would love nothing more than to catch those responsible. She sees a couple of immediate problems. For some reason B.D.’s boss is blocking the investigation & he’s sure he’s being watched. And while she understands the need for answers, Livia is worried B.D. is too emotionally involved. Desperate men make mistakes & she really can’t afford to attract any more attention.Right from the start there’s an interesting dynamic as the 2 MC’s have history. They’ve worked together before although it’s always been an uneasy alliance at best. B.D. has helped Livia in the past but he’a also manipulated her for his own gain. With so much at stake, she has to wonder if he’s willing to throw her to the wolves to find his daughter. In alternate chapters, we meet those wolves & and when it comes to creep factor, they’re off the charts. Not only do we hear their horrifying plans but also realize just what Livia & B.D. are up against. Holy Cats, find a comfie reading spot because you won’t be moving for a few hours. It’s a fast paced thriller with plenty of action & forks in the road. The MC’s provide the heart & soul that will have you cheering them on while you hiss at at a slew of bad guys (pro tip: if your nickname is “Snake” you’re probably not known for your cuddly side. Just sayin’). The author does a a great job of providing enough info to make us cringe without resorting to graphic details. And if you think all the cool tech toys are science fiction, peruse the notes & links provided at the end. Downright scary.Livia is a complex & charismatic woman. Intelligent & highly skilled, she continues to battle the emotional scars from her past. Her character has been slowly evolving over the course of the series & she’s taking baby steps toward normal relationships. Enough background is given for this to be read as a stand-alone but as with all series, you’ll get more from it if you’ve read previous books.
