Publisher's summary

Available for the first time as an audiobook, New York Times best-selling author Eric Jerome Dickey’s thrilling short story Harlem.

“People called me Harlem. I dubbed myself after that dangerous neighborhood that I’d never seen. I read life is rough in Harlem, and a Black man isn’t expected to live to see 25. I was 23. The clock was ticking.”

When Harlem gets off on a murder charge due to insanity, the asylum he’s sent to feels worse than death, with one exception: the beautiful Nurse Daphane. As their relationship grows, so do the stakes: She has the ability to help him escape, and he has the ability to set her free from her abusive relationship. Yet Harlem has one big secret: He was perfectly sane when he committed his crime. But in the end, Daphane’s own secret may be the deadliest of all....

Good story

It's a cool story, but the narrator was horrible. It was pretty easy to figure out the ending. I didn't care for the less than 2 minute chapters, but that's what you get with a short story right?! I think it would have been given the story more of a kick if the narrator wasn't trying so hard if that makes sense.

I was captured by the sound of the narrator

The ending was predictable, but, nonetheless, the book was entertaining. I finished it in one sitting while working remotely. The narrator tells a good story and the sound of his voice is very sexy. All I can say is, what's goes around, comes around. I think you will enjoy this book too

Not worth it

Wasn’t feeling the crazy aspect of the narration. Upset that I wasted a credit on this

It was short but good.

I predicted part of the story but there were additional twists at the end.
