Publisher's summary

A self-styled artist is getting away with murder in Death Valley. If all goes well, so will Nameless. In part two of the Nameless series, the relentless avenger is haunted by nightmares of the past and visions of what’s to come.

Palmer Oxenwald’s hunting ground is the Mojave wasteland. His victims are random tourists and hikers. His trophies are cherished photographs of the damage he’s done. His greatest threat is Nameless. Two men with one thing in common: memories of the dead. For a psychopath like Palmer, they’re a clear rush in black and white. For Nameless, they’re visions of violence buried and erased. But for how long?

From number one New York Times best-selling author Dean Koontz comes Photographing the Dead, part of Nameless, a riveting collection of short stories about a vigilante nomad, stripped of his memories and commissioned to kill. Follow him in each story, which can be listened to in a single sitting.

The great outdoors

How many serial killers out there never get caught? How many out there are caught but end up released and continue to kill? These stories are a kind of retribution for all the children, the women and more who lie in unmarked graves. No justice for them but in these stories we have an avenging angel. Is this a man who has done wrong and now absolves himself by saving others? Readers you decide and remember this is fiction.

Ballerini clearly is a genius.

Koontz has managed to create a really relatable character in about 2 1/2 hours. Looking forward to the next 3 shorts.

Good series

I have enjoyed the entire series so far (I just finished book 3) and can recommend it to anyone liking a good fictional story with a twist. Some violence but slight compared to many other books, just be advised if children are listening.

Love these - especially with Kindle Unlimited

Really enjoying this series about Nameless, but they are short. I wouldn’t use a credit on them. Great if you have Kindle Unlimited though! Also nice to be able to actually read.

The narrator has a great voice. Clear and not too heavily accented. Enjoy!

Great short story listen! Just enough to enjoy in the rare spare time I have

A great short story and I have just downloaded the others in the Nameless series.
Sometimes I don’t want a full book to listen too, so these are great and cannot wait to listen to the others. Great narrator !

Great new character

A well written short story which is fast paced and exciting. Nameless is a great anti-hero with an intriguing background and I look forward to seeing how the series develops.

Great Series

I’m loving this short story series - great characters, great plots and great suspense. Everything I look forward to in a Dean Koontz novel, but in a more bitesize form. Brilliant!!
