The Escape Artist is a medical based mystery thriller written by Brad Meltzer. It is the first chapter of the Zig Zigarowski novel series written by the novelist. The narration of this novel is its strongest part. It is led by Scott Brick in an effortless manner, who is regarded as one of the finest narrators of his time and even beyond.
