About this listen

Carl Wade Ryder—brother, son, and all-around good person—was murdered on August 5, 2006.

Blood was found at his home in Franklin County, PA.

All evidence pointed to one suspect: Scott North, a former employee of Carl’s, a regular attendee of Franklin County courts, and the son of a Chambersburg, PA cop. After burglarizing a tavern, a judge granted him work release, and then another dismissed a recent gun charge. Days later, he ran from his unsupervised worksite and began a crime spree that may have ended with the murder of Carl Wade Ryder.

The evidence was all there, but the police ignored most of it.

With nowhere else to turn, the family scoured the byways and hillsides of Amberson, Path Valley, and other areas in adjoining counties in search of Carl’s body. And finally, they found him in Huntingdon County, PA, 27 minutes away from his home.

When his body was found, the police revisited the investigation—but only by expanding the murder case to Huntingdon County, despite the blood in Carl’s home. For a year and a half, the case was passed off between the counties. With no help from officials, how could the Ryder family bring their beloved son & brother justice?

Black Clover is the true story of the heart-wrenching small town murder of the author’s brother and the lengths at which the legal system can be manipulated, if the family doesn’t fight back.

Heartbreaking true story

This was a heartbreaking true story, I listened to the entire audiobook last night and this morning. The family’s fight for justice is grippingly told, with detailed accounts of the countless ways the legal system did little to solve this murder. Ali Gifford imbued compassion and clarity into the reading of the book, I feel for the author. I hope this book brought some comfort to the family of Carl Wade Ryder, and to families with similar stories.

A story about fighting for justice

You definitely feel like you are right alongside her through this book. The Narrator, Ali Gifford, allows you to focus on the facts and trail of evidence without distracting the listener.

Wasted my credit on this narrator

Was interested in this book due to it being from my home state. Used my free credit without listening to sample. Big mistake. This book is read in a monotone drone that completely turned me off. Twice I fell asleep. Did not continue to listen. Will read book myself.
