Firewalk

By: Chris Roberson

Narrated by: R.C. Bray

Izzie Lefevre was the newest investigator for the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit when she first came to Recondito, a coastal city that's been shrouded in mystery and legend for centuries. Local law enforcement had requested the Bureau's assistance in hunting a sword-wielding serial killer who'd left a dozen mutilated bodies in his wake. Patrick Tevake was a local homicide detective assigned to the taskforce, and together he and Izzie managed to track down and stop the killer before he claimed another victim.

Five years later, Izzie and Patrick remain haunted by what the killer said before he fell in a hail of gunfire. Izzie's ancestors were "mambos", voodoo priestesses who claimed to communicate with the dead and protect the faithful from evil spirits. Patrick's Polynesian great uncle told stories of Recondito's supernatural menaces that lurk in flame and shadow. The killer's last words have brought up a past both Izzie and Patrick thought they'd long since left behind, and neither has been able to shake the feeling that their case was never completely solved.

Critic reviews

"While this series launch would appeal to any thriller fan, the terrific pacing and detailed police work mixed with supernatural elements means that Roberson's novel will serve well horror and urban fantasy fans alike." ( Library Journal)

Interesting Concept, What Was That Ending

The ending wasn’t an ending. Didn’t answer anything and just ended. RC was amazing as always though.

Great Story, Epic Narration, Bring on a Sequel

This was a great story. Love the characters. The narration is top notch. This book was recommended by a friend and I am so glad I found it. Highly recommended.

pretty good

i was hooked right away. its new and interesting. it was free, figured why not, turned put great

Not for me

Narrator was a bit monotone and story line hard to follow and not for me

Bray saves the day.

This book was worth reading and worth the credit spent. The characters were of depth and the storyline was interesting. I am left wondering if their will be another, I assume there will be, but do not see anything recent. R.C Bray is the main strength of this book. The reason I even gave it a second look. His depth as a narrator really lends credibility to this book.
