About this audiobook

Frank Rath thought he was done with murder when he turned in his detective's badge to become a private investigator and raise a daughter alone. Then the police in his remote rural community of Canaan find an '89 Monte Carlo abandoned by the side of the road, and the beautiful teenage girl who owned the car seems to have disappeared without a trace. Soon Rath's investigation brings him face-to-face with the darkest abominations of the human soul. With the consequences of his violent and painful past plaguing him, and young women with secrets vanishing one by one, he discovers once again that even in the smallest towns on the map, evil lurks everywhere-and no one is safe.

Ratings and reviews

The book was quite interesting! This was my first audiobook and although I had to rewind at times, it kept me captivated. The book is not political, as some reviews led me to believe. It does involve issues that have been made into political topics. Maybe I watch and read too many detective stories, but I was able to guess/anticipate much of the plot. Even so, I could not stop listening. I also loved the narrator! He was able to convey emotions and various characters amazingly well.
