The cozy little town of Pine Deep buried the horrors of its past a long time ago. Thirty years have gone by since the darkness descended and the Black Harvest began, a time when a serial killer sheared a bloody swath through the quiet Pennsylvania village.

Story
When you have to kill the same terrorist twice in one week there’s either something wrong with your world or something wrong with your skills - and there’s nothing wrong with Joe Ledger’s skills. And that’s both a good and a bad thing. It’s good because he’s a Baltimore detective who has just been secretly recruited by the government to lead a new task force created to deal with the problems that Homeland Security can’t handle....

Story
Sam Hunter is a bit of an animal. He's a former Twin Cities cop who lost his badge because of excessive force. Abusive husbands, child molesters, and other lowlifes wound up looking like they'd been mauled by dogs...or wolves. Now Sam's a low-rent PI in Philadelphia. He takes the kinds of cases no one wants. His clients are usually on the fringes of society. The kind who are prey for all manner of predators--human and otherwise.

Great Story, but....
The story was awesome, short and sweet but my issue is with the narration. The Haitian accent. I am almost positive that Tom Weiner has never even spoken to a Haitian person because the accent so so far off it's actually just offensive. This is as bad as people who assume that all Caribbean accents sound like Jamaican accents. It's like an over exaggeration of what Native Americans supposedly sound like mixed with a bad Irish accent. It was hard for me to focus on the story.

well that was strange...
I'm really not sure what I just listened to. It wasn't written badly, I just don't know what the point was. There was a nice build up of the two main characters for only a 30 minute book, and then meeting a 3rd character didn't seem strange or forced. There was talk of drugs and a rivalry and someone died.
Then garden gnomes... just really strange.
if it is free it could be worth it, but just strange so I'm not sure I would pay money for it.

Drugs and Vodun
An accurate and disturbing, frightening depiction of drug addiction, centering of Methamphetamine addiction. A subject so cringeworthy it's hard to focus on the story. Hard to listen to. The author is known for exciting storytelling, this outing is too close to reality to allow the suspension of reality and therefore too awful to allow enjoyment. The narration would have better served with multiple narrators to handle the switches from American methead to Haitian Voodu priest. This story just isn't equal to the author's other works. Sorry Jonathan.
