Starred review from June 22, 2009
Edgar-finalist Koryta spins a dark tale of broken dreams and second chances in his stunning fourth mystery to feature Cleveland, Ohio, PI Lincoln Perry (after 2008’s A Welcome Grave
). When Perry starts receiving letters from convicted murder Parker Harrison, he ignores them until the man shows up in his office. Twelve years earlier, the then recently paroled Harrison worked for Alexandra and Joshua Cantrell, a couple who ran a rehabilitation program for violent offenders. Then they disappeared, and Harrison wants Perry’s help in tracking down Alexandra. Suspicious why Harrison waited so long, Perry discovers that Joshua’s bones were recently unearthed in Pennsylvania. Ken Merriman, a Pittsburgh PI, soon arrives in Cleveland, asking Perry for help finding out who killed Joshua. That Alexandria’s brother heads one of Cleveland’s most notorious mob families complicates matters. Perry has to reconsider everything he thought he knew about right, wrong and everything in between.
Narrator Scott Brick can make even the most mundane story exciting, which is why it's such a pleasure when he starts with a strong novel. Brick performs THE SILENT HOUR, which features P.I. Lincoln Perry, who is shanghaied into solving an old murder. The sense of urgency and depth of passion that Brick adds to the story create an atmosphere of palpable tension. The book dramatizes the theme of redemption as the daughter of a criminal tries to prove that convicted killers can be rehabilitated by a return to nature and hard work. But when the woman's husband is murdered, everything falls apart. It's left to Perry to put the pieces back together and solve the mystery. M.S. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
