THE NIGHT STALKER

Novelist James Swain's cop drama introduces readers to former cop Jack Carpenter, a man summoned to a Florida state prison to meet with a death row inmate who has one final request. Of course, there's more than meet's the eye to this chilling story as Carpenter soon finds himself involved in a journey to save a family from the killer's grasp. Narrator Richard Mover gives a spirited performance that taps into the heinousness of cold-blooded killers as well as the stone-cold personality of Carpenter. Mover displays a knack for developing characters, no matter how insidious they might be. A stirring and compelling listen. L.B. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2008]
