The Clarkeston Chronicles, Book 2

By: Paul J. Heald

Narrated by: Eric G. Dove

When new evidence arises in a cold case, can Professor Hopkins refrain from delving into a newfound world of corruption, vice, and danger?

Stanley Hopkins cannot resist the invitation from a honey-voiced US attorney asking him to track down the source of photographs of a young dance major abducted five years earlier from her apartment in Clarkeston, Georgia. A journalist has stumbled across newly posted pictures of Diana Cavendish on the Internet, apparently taken just days before she disappeared with her boyfriend.

While Stanley deals with vexing personal problems and scrambles to identify the owner of the website that acquired the photos, small-town journalist James Murphy and federal prosecutor Melanie Wilkerson uncover new evidence of the crime - and the cover-up - that ranges far beyond the confines of the victim's quaint Georgia college town.

This second installment of the Clarkeston Chronicles presents new challenges for Hopkins that take him far from the California base he established in Death in Eden and introduces him to a fascinating group of collaborators who will anchor him in small-town Georgia.

Fun book

This was a fun book which brought together characters from his other books (which I also loved) He writes in rich detail with great character development. I’m always amazed at the historical detail and depth of the stories. I generally listen on long car trips - and I highly recommend this one!

Full bodied thriller mystery

Excellent audio with well plotted intriguing mystery that is gripping and full of suspense. Fabulous characters involved in political procedural thriller.

Very well done.

Be aware that this book advances particular political and religious positions. The ignorant and/or villainous characters are Southern Baptist and political conservatives. The good guys are political progressives and religious liberals.

That said, the book is well done, No criticisms.
