Ex-cop Jack Carpenter is the type of guy criminals avoid, so he’s surprised to receive a summons from Florida state prison’s death row. Staving off his rendezvous with Old Sparky one appeal at a time, notorious serial killer Abb Smith wants Carpenter to find his grandson. Even stranger, the case involves Heather Rinker, a childhood friend of Jack’s daughter. After making some bad choices in her short life, Heather now desperately needs Jack’s help to save both herself and her young son from a murderer’s grasp.
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. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
