Seven O'Clock Man

By: Justin DiPego

Narrated by: Daniel Martinez

Something is preying on the denizens of Skid Row, but when the victims are from the lost side of town, only one of the lost can stop the Seven O’Clock Man. Valentine might look like any homeless person holding any cardboard sign, but he knows the string of murders on LA's Skid Row aren't random and aren't business as usual for the strung out, the addicted, the unbalanced, and the destitute living on the streets. And it’s not just any killer hunting in the flophouses, shooting galleries and shantytowns. The Seven O’Clock Man is a legend, preying on the homeless since the first hobos hit the rails in the aftermath of the Civil War.

Solve the mystery of who is the Seven O’Clock Man. How can one strung-out junkie stop him?

Take a walk on the mean streets

Seven O Clock Man is a gritty, noir-type thriller that leaves you guessing. Full of accurate details that anyone growing up in LA will recognize, the author takes us on a first person tour through LA's Skid Row in search of a mythical (?) murderer who preys on the vulnerable. Actor Daniel Martinez gives voice to the story in a way that lends authenticity. I found that his speech pattern was occasionally difficult to understand, but otherwise it was a great performance of a solidly fun ride through the eyes of those we often pass without seeing.

Incredible Twist!

The narration of this book was awesome! The story had twists that left you on the edge of your seat, and you just couldn’t stop listening. Well done!!

I could not stop listening!

Look forward to more by this narrator! And more by this author!
Wonderful story. Did not see it coming.

Intirguing, engaging and more!

The Seven O’Clock man is a legend, perhaps an urban myth but regardless, he is killing the folks who have only the clothes on their backs and are the ones no one wants. To stop the killings one of them must take action now before more die.

I really enjoyed this story. I was kept guessing the entire time. The story comes from a first-person perspective where the protagonist is searching skid row for a legendary murderer. There are many twists and turns to keep your attention. The character and plot development are strong. The dialog keeps the flow of the story moving. In addition, the author, Justin DiPego gives his listeners a satisfying ending.

The voice actor, Daniel Martinez, did a great job and provided a unique voice to each character. His reading kept me just as engaged as the story. This is my first-time hearing Daniel Martinez and I look forward to hearing more of his work.

There were no issues with the production or quality of this audiobook, it was clear and crisp.
