The death of 15-year-old Rachel Donahue, a recalcitrant resident at a Cleveland juvenile detention facility, kick starts bestseller Black’s well-crafted fourth thriller featuring forensic expert Maggie Gardiner (after Perish). Rachel fell three floors to the bottom of a stairwell, but whether she was pushed is unclear. As more residents die under suspicious circumstances, Maggie and homicide detective Jack Renner realize that a murderer is loose in the locked facility, where groups of children are carefully segregated and access to them is strictly supervised and limited. That the potential victims can be as lethal as the hunter stalking them complicates the case, as do Maggie’s fears that Jack is hiding a terrible secret. The pressure on Maggie only increases when her ex-husband, Det. Rick Gardiner, is assigned to investigate Jack’s past—something neither Maggie nor Jack can afford to have revealed. Black keeps the suspense high throughout. Agent: Vicky Bijur, Vicky Bijur Agency.
Narrator Kirsten Potter gives a thrilling performance in a voice steeped in the noir-style of an old-school murder mystery. Her strong, clear voice deftly navigates the listener through this dark thriller's tough subject matter, including child abuse, sexual assault, imprisonment, and murder at a center for criminal children. Potter captures the emotional tones of both frustrated employees struggling to help children who could just as easily murder them and often sarcastic hardened detectives. Subtle black humor comes through as the listener comes to know the secrets the detectives keep to themselves. There's never a dull moment. V.B. � AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
