Duke Dempsey is a private investigator in 1938 Charleston, SC. He is thrust into the case of a lifetime when the Vatican comes calling and hires him to find an invaluable relic. Charleston is also hit with the mysterious murders of a prominent priest of St. Patrick's Cathedral and a local cop. Duke is forced into a partnership with the presiding detective, Johnny Stampkin, to find the relic and solve the murders. The case takes a multitude of twists and turns as they navigate through Roman Catholic puzzles, Civil War secrets, and a Nazi assassin.

The narrator is, in many ways, a very good fit for this book. His style and command of accents is very good considering the challenging range he had to work with. With a measure and tone that is evocative of both a time gone by and a specific place, the narrator beings characters like Duke to life with words. The only negative points I would note are the narrator's tendency to pause at odd moments in a sentence, although I can't accurately tell if this is error or a common idiosyncracy. Whether this habit was intentional or not, it was distracting for at least the first part of the book before I got used to it and stopped noticing this odd quirk. The quality of the recording - quiet background noise at times - was also a trifle distracting and off-putting.
All in all, though, I would rate this audiobook as being very, very good, a compulsive read and already one of my favourite of its genre. The negative points, of which there are few, are not enough to detract very far from this excellent book and I would give it a 4.5 star rating if I could.
I was given a free copy of this audiobook by the author in exchange for a fair and honest review.
Detective novel meets WW2 action brilliantly!

The first torture/murders are a priest and a street-wise cop on the pier, but certainly not the last ones performed by the fanatic nazi specialist on a mission from the fuhrer. The police detective is very sharp and his former partner (now a PI) joins in when given an amazing case from The Church. It's a fascinating story with lots of twists and misdirection in the months immediately prior to the German invasions in Europe. Very riveting!
Narrator Gene Blake has a very emotive delivery well suited to the material.
I won the audio in a giveaway and will look for more!
Riveting!
