Publisher's Summary
A race against time becomes a battle for the soul in this suspenseful story from New York Times best seller Jeffery Deaver.
Death is a topic Bradford Douglas is intimately familiar with. The young attorney is on a crusade against capital punishment. He’s saved a number of death row inmates, but none of his cases has been as tough as the one he now faces: Henry Combs, a vicious serial killer, has only hours to live when Douglas is summoned for a Hail Mary attempt to have the man’s sentence commuted to life imprisonment.
As Douglas races to pursue whatever strategies he can think of, he finds his passion for justice giving way to something altogether different.
An obsession.

Evan Hart lives the good life, enjoying his job, his sports club, the occasional date - and especially his comfortable home, nestled in the thick woods surrounding his property. But that tranquility is shattered when he realizes a figure from his past has arrived in town, armed with a knife, his intentions clear from the man’s attempts to break into Evan’s house in the middle of the night.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 821
England, 1943: Home is no longer safe for eight-year-old twins Molly and Jacob. Night after night, wailing bombs and screeching planes skim the rooftops overhead. They cradle each other, shivering in terror, not knowing if they'll live to see dawn. Their mother, Martha, has no choice but to evacuate them to the safety of the countryside. At the train station, Martha bites back tears as she says good-bye to her precious children. Knowing she might never see them again, she gives Jacob a letter, pressing the envelope into his hands and telling him to only read it if they are in danger.

When the youngest grows gravely ill, their mother leaves with the child to get help from a nearby town. And they never return. As months pass, hope vanishes. Supplies are low. Livestock are dying.

As more bodies are discovered - their only connection the bizarre but identical manner of death - the world begins to wonder if the Devil has, in fact, come to collect his due.

An off-duty Coast Guardsman is fishing with his family when he calls in some suspicious behavior from a nearby boat. It's a snazzy craft, slick and outfitted with extra horsepower, and is zipping along until it slows to pick up a surfaced diver...a diver who was apparently alone, without his own boat, in the middle of the ocean. None of it makes sense unless there's something hinky going on, and his hunch is proved right when all three Guardsmen who come out to investigate are shot and killed.

A mummified corpse, over half a century old, is found in the cellar of an abandoned building in a remote New Mexico ghost town. Corrie Swanson is assigned what seems to her a throwaway case: to ID the body and determine cause of death. She brings archaeologist Nora Kelly to excavate the body and lend her expertise to the investigation, and together they uncover something unexpected and shocking: the deceased apparently died in agony, in a fetal position, skin coming off in sheets, with a rictus of horror frozen on his face. Hidden on the corpse lies a 16th-century Spanish gold cross.

The operation takes less than two minutes. Luke will wake up at The Institute, in a room that looks just like his own, except there's no window. And outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents - telekinesis and telepathy - who got to this place the same way Luke did: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and 10-year-old Avery Dixon.

Twisted
The narrator did a really good job reading the story. After listening to this story I’m very happy because of two things.
1-This was a free listen and;
2-This was a short story.
I initially had it at one star, but after further thought I gave it two extra stars because there is no vulgar language in the story and that in itself has become such a rarity with so many authors of late.

NOPE
Seriously!? The ending became incredibly predictable before it happened. So, in other words, there could have been an unpredictable and interesting ending. But instead, the story lazily walked down the obvious road of creepy, but complete predictability. How disappointing.

Is it possible?
Is it possible for Deaver to write a short story WITHOUT a “twist” ending?
Not only could you see this one coming from a mile away, it made the story less interesting.
POSSIBLE SPOILERS BELOW:
Up until the last 30 seconds, this was a fascinating character study, an intricate examination of how people reconcile and live with being involved in a death penalty case. A developing relationship between two people on opposite sides of this issue, both of them highly moral, and attracted to one another - there’s a hell of a story in that.
Unfortunately, Deaver chose, yet again, to go for the cheap thrill of some sort of “psychic transference” and deliver the twist.
What a disappointment.

I'm a big fan of Jeffery Deaver and have read several of his books, and a lot of his short stories. This short story was great and the end will certainly throw you for a loop. David Harbour was excellent with the narrating. I received this from the audible plus catalogue.

Short & Sharp
Usually, read/listen to Deaver's normal novels but this short story was free so gave it a go. Interesting similar to the longer novels I think if Deaver really thought about it he could have had a winner with a proper novel. It was quite creepy and the ending was different to what I thought it would be if you want a quick exciting listen-only takes just under an hour this is the one

Good but not great
This had a lot of promise but it was just too obvious where this was going. Because it is a novella, there was no real room to explain or analyse the twist in the tale which left a sense of dissatisfaction for me.
