THE NIGHT MONSTER

Abduction specialist Jack Carpenter hates bringing his work home with him, but when his daughter and her basketball teammates are kidnapped, he’s left with no choice but to take it personally. Naturally, he recognizes the kidnapper from an old unsolved case, and the mystery that has haunted him all these years becomes entwined with the kidnapping. Narrator Peter Jay Fernandez delivers a reading as entertaining as it is effective. In Carpenter, Fernandez creates a character whom listeners can relate to but also hold in high esteem as an action hero. Without ever sounding too urgent or frantic, Fernandez layers his voice with subtle emotion that boils to the surface as the tension rises.
