The Cyclist

By: Ken Barrick

Narrated by: Jonathan Stevens

Stanton City, Arkansas is being stalked by a serial killer. The psychopath has been named the Thief of Hearts by the press because of his MO of killing women and stealing their hearts. This murderer is especially sadistic, terrorizing and torturing innocent victims.

The police think bicycle deliveryman Robert Kinney is their guy.

Robert, however, wouldn't hurt anyone. He may be down on his luck at the moment, but Robert is a hard worker who wants to make a difference. His dreams of becoming a police officer were ruined by a stupid accident when he was 18. He knows that there is another way to help people. He just needs to find it.

First, Robert has to clear his name - fast! The only one who believes in him is his friend and coworker Noelle. To stop this psycho and prove his own innocence, Robert develops an alternate persona - "The Cyclist" - and he won't stop until the Thief of Hearts is brought to justice. Robert has the compassion to be a superhero, but does he have the intelligence and courage needed to outwit a sinister villain?

Too much sexual content for a mystery thriller

I didn’t like the tonality of the narrator’s voice. It seemed like I was hearing a “King of the Hill” cartoon till it got to the over indulgent sexual tension of many of the characters. I had to ask myself, “Did I purchase a B rated soft porn book?” I want my 5 hours back.
