Resumen del Editor

This is how your life ends: Not with a whimper, but a scream!

Jude Parish is afraid. The former violent crimes cop turned best-selling true crime author has a fear-filled demon lodged inside of him. A demon so real he can only imagine a slimy reptilian beast with scaly skin, black eyes, and razor-sharp fangs having taken up residence inside the place where his once confident and fearless soul resided.

Now, in the wake of his literary success, the ever anxious Jude is hoping to lead a quiet, peaceful life in the idyllic pines-covered Adirondack vacation town of Lake George, New York with his new pregnant wife, Rosie, and Jack, his young son from a previous marriage. But when Jude becomes the accidental witness to a bizarre “kill game” in which the killer, video game designer, and master of disguise, Hector “the Black Dragon” Lennox, insists on recording the screams of his victims prior to shooting them dead, the ex-cop’s life is turned upside down.

When Lennox is arrested by the L.G.P.D. and Jude is asked to act as the state’s “star witness”, he has no choice but to fight his demon-fear and take on the role. But what he doesn’t realize at the time, is that the killer’s arrest is actually the first level in what is a carefully designed and scripted first-person video kill game that will involve his entire family as “players” and “victims”.

How will the kill game end?

Like all violent video games, it will end in death. But it won’t be “Game Over” until Hector Lennox catches the screams of his tortured victims.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Gritty, fast-paced, lyrical and haunting." (Harlan Coben, best-selling author of Six Years)

The Game

This was my first experience with Vincent Zandri's work, and it was riveting. Jude Parish witnessed a murder, Jude agreed to be the prosecutor's witness in court. Hector "the Black Dragon" Lennox was a video game designer who liked to record the screams of his victims before they died. Once the audiobook started, the story gripped my attention, and it was difficult to leave the evolving cat and mouse story with so many twists and turns. The family was realistic, but the killer seemed a little too smart and a little too lucky. Andrew B. Wehrlen's narration was fine as his voice was pleasant and easy to understand. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Great thriller!

The Scream Catcher proved to be a couple of firsts for me, I had never read or listened to any of Vincent Zandri’s previous books, and I had never been exposed to Johnny Heller’s narration. Wow, what an experience Mr. Heller’s narration made this story feel like I was listening to an old radio serial, and I found myself hanging on his every word. The story is action packed, not to mention filled with characters who are all riddled with normal human failings/issues, not to mention a murderer who keeps things very interesting.

Excellent

The author always delivers us a fresh new look with his books, the scenario of a cop who has seen it all, and wants a quiet life. Then he is a witness of a crime, that was just the beginning, the kill game video was the key. You like the characters, the tension is so very real, as is the nightmare. The narration was excellent of bringing this out. Given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
