Morris PI

The Men from Ice House Four

De: Dion Baia

Narrado por: Sean Crisden

While investigating the disappearance of a prominent tycoon's young employee, Harlem private detective Walter Morris uncovers an absolutely horrifying plot that brings the final days of the second World War to the mean streets of Manhattan.

New York City, 1945. The war in Europe is in its final days, and life in the Big Apple may soon be back to normal. Harlem private detective Walter Morris is hired by the reclusive tycoon, Cuthbert Hayden, to find his maid's missing daughter. Walter begins a journey into the dark and seedy underworld of the city - through a world of back-alley nightclubs, gangsters, double agents, serial killers, black market surgeons, and scientifically engineered monsters...and that doesn't even scratch the surface.

Morris slowly peels back the layers and stumbles across a horrifying plan to thwart the American fight in the war - a plot that brings Walter face to face with one of the most notorious mass murderers of all time, Doctor Josefe Mengele. Why is Mengele in New York? And what is the totten core? The answer to those questions and many more will change Walter's life forever and leave a scar on the world - a wound from which it still hasn't recovered.

LOVED IT!

A great crime and thriller fiction with a bit of mystery thrown in! Loved it. Didn't see the ending coming! Great narrator too. Highly recommended!!

Inventive fiction from WW2, narrator was perfect

The narrator made this book for me- perfect selection for a book that read like an old style detective radio show from the 50's. Historical set, some sciFi and a compelling main character. Fun and enjoyed start to finish.

A good story backed by great narration!

I really enjoyed this book. I love detective/mystery books as well as history. This story does a great job of combining the two. The 1940s New York theme coupled with the back drop of WWII added another level to the interesting plot.
The main Character was likable and the Villains/Antagonists where a nice touch to the story.

The Narration as a whole was great. I have listened to a few other narrators that pretty much used the same voice for every character. It can be confusing sometimes when there is a conversation between characters. Sean Crisden did a awesome job of voicing multiple characters (German, Irish, Japanese, English, and American) My only complaint would be the speed at which he would speak for certain characters. I had to go back a few times to make sure I didnt miss anything. Not enough to ruin anything but a mild annoyance.
All in all I would highly recommend this book to anyone, especially people interested in a great "noir-esque" Detective story.

Right up my alley, which is Dark & Mysterious

I loved every moment of it. This is my second Dion Baia Book and it just keeps getting better, and the narration was Fantastic. my 1940s hat goes off to Dion and the spot on narration of Sean Crisden.
