In 1919, Delano, Georgia, appoints its first chief of police. Honest and hardworking, the new chief is puzzled when young men start to disappear. But his investigation is ended by the fatal blast from a shotgun. Delano's second chief-of-police is no hero, yet he is also disturbed by what he sees in the missing-persons bulletins. In 1969, when Delano's third chief takes over, the unsolved disappearances still haunt the police files.

My first audiobook was Ludlum's Bourne Identity on cassette tapes in the early 80s. I was hooked. I read 124 books on Audible last year. I'll read as many this year. In all this time, this will be my very first Audible review. It had me from page one, and it never let go. The story was compelling, unique in its plot, and I couldn't guess what any of the characters we're about to do. It was so fresh and interesting, with a new punch in the face every few pages, that it literally kept me guessing until the incredibly satisfying ending. Long reviews reveal too much and bore quickly. If you prefer dramas, whodunits, police procedurals, historical fiction, legal thrillers, or crime novels, or if you enjoy books about the South in the first half of the last century, local politics, or just having a lot of fun listening to a master storyteller, GET THIS BOOK!

Mike Matheny was just 41, without professional managerial experience and looking for a next step after a successful career as a Major League catcher, when he succeeded the legendary Tony La Russa as manager of the St. Louis Cardinals in 2012. While Matheny has enjoyed immediate success, leading the Cards to the postseason three times in his first three years, people have noticed something else about his life, something not measured in day-to-day results.

I rarely read a book twice, but this one deserves a second read. I was so impressed by the humility of the author. What a great story he has told one that needs to be told to the youth of America.
