À propos de cet audio
The most shocking secret in the history of mankind is about to be revealed....
A murderer is on the loose on the streets of New York City: nicknamed the Doomsday Killer, he's claimed six victims in just two weeks, and the city is terrified. Even worse, the police are mystified: the victims have nothing in common, defying all profiling, and all that connects them is that each received a sick postcard in the mail before they died - a postcard that announced their date of death.
In desperation, the FBI assigns the case to maverick agent Will Piper, once the most accomplished serial-killing expert in the bureau's history, now on a dissolute spiral to retirement. Battling his own demons, Will is soon drawn back into a world he both loves and hates, determined to catch the killer whatever it takes. But his search takes him in a direction he could never have predicted, uncovering a shocking secret that has been closely guarded for centuries. A secret that once lay buried in an underground library beneath an eighth-century monastery, but which has now been unearthed - with deadly consequences. A select few defend the secret of the library with their lives - and as Will closes in on the truth, they are determined to stop him, at any cost....
Some crimes should never be solved; some secrets are best left buried.
©2009 Glenn Cooper (P)2020 TantorA modern-day serial killer linked with WWII-era events (i.e. the Roswell UFO crash & the discovery of the ruins of an ancient abbey on the Isle of Wight) plus - ultimately - paranormal dark ages enigmas = a pretty innovative Crime Thriller.
Less fortunately, reader Pete Bradbury's performance is marred by endlessly annoying mouth noises and occasional cartoonish voice-acting. To be certain, Bradbury displays solidly professional narration and has a near-psychic understanding of the author's intended tone, but Tantor Audio Inc. could have cast this project better.
In toto, I rate 'Library Of The Dead' 8 stars out of 10. I am very pleased to have found this clever occult-flavored modern/period mystery in the 'Plus' catalog.. because it would rate a Credit. I personally disliked the Piper character and won't be continuing with the series, but you could very easily become enamored with the jaded, irreverent, stereotypical "loose cannon" cop - a Harry Callahan skeptic guaranteed to evolve into a Fox Mulder. Can recommend.
