About this listen

In South Carolina, a young black man faces the death penalty for the rape and murder of Marianne Larousse, daughter of one of the wealthiest men in the state. It's a case that nobody wants to touch, a case with its roots in old evil, and old evil is private detective Charlie Parker's speciality. But Parker is about to make a descent into the abyss, a confrontation with dark forces that threaten all that Parker holds dear: his lover, his unborn child, even his soul. . .

For in a prison cell, a fanatical preacher is about to take his revenge on Charlie Parker, its instruments the very men that Parker is hunting, and a strange, hunched creature that keeps its own secrets buried by a riverbank: the undiscovered killer Cyrus Nairn. Soon, all of these figures will face a final reckoning in southern swamps and northern forests, in distant locations linked by a single thread, a place where the paths of the living and the dead converge. A place known only as the White Road.

I have read the book and loved the story. I have enjoyed listening to the other Charlie Parker books because Jeff Harding does a great job narrating but for some reason they chose to use someone else for this book and he is terrible. He doesn't even say Lewis name properly. I couldn't even get through the first chapter listening to this narrator. I would recommend the other books but definitely not this one due to different narrator.

Horrible narrator.

Another brilliant Charlie Parker storyline, BUT completely ruined by the narrator who does not even pronounce one of the main characters name correctly. Should have been picked up by someone at the recording company before the audiobook was released /sold. So did not enjoy it and it will be the only book in the entire series that I cannot listen to again - unless it is reread by Jeff Harding who does the other 14 Charlie Parker books. Waste of money.

Bland - ruined by narrator
