THE MEPHISTO CLUB

Jane Rizzoli, Boston detective, again teams up with Medical Examiner Dr. Maura Isles in pursuit of a maniacal killer who writes "I have sinned" in the victim's blood. Carolyn McCormick develops each character with such convincing clarity that the listener assumes there's more than one narrator. She portrays Rizzoli with an authoritative, controlled voice as the detective pursues clues that lead to the Mephisto Club. This group believes in the supernatural, Satan, and even the Nephilim, an ancient race that resulted when angels mated with humans, referenced in Genesis. McCormick's excellent performance and characterizations coupled with superb plotting, apocalyptic messages, mysterious clues, and murder combine to make this an unforgettable thriller.
