JD Jackson portrays a character named Harlem without overdramatizing the violence and brutality of his life. This subtle approach works. Harlem is a killer who is locked up in a mental hospital. It’s strangely compelling to hear his cruel crimes described in such casual—or even sometimes wronged—tones. Jackson’s rough-hewn voice is very appropriate. There’s nothing soft about Harlem except for the feelings he has for Daphane, a nurse who befriends him. Jackson also is good with supporting characters, including Daphane and Dr. Brewster, a psychiatrist Harlem loathes and would like to kill. This short audiobook is perfect for a commute or walk. Jackson’s performance is riveting. G.S. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
Available for the first time as an audiobook, New York Times bestselling author Eric Jerome Dickey's thrilling short story Harlem
“People called me Harlem. I dubbed myself after that dangerous neighborhood that I'd never seen. I read life is rough in Harlem, and a black man isn't expected to live to see twenty-five. I was twenty-three. The clock was ticking.”
When Harlem gets off on a murder charge due to insanity, the asylum he's sent to feels worse than death, with one exception: the beautiful nurse Daphane. As their relationship grows, so do the stakes: she has the ability to help him escape, and he has the ability to set her free from her abusive relationship. Yet Harlem has one big secret: he was perfectly sane when he committed his crime. But in the end, Daphane's own secret may be the deadliest of all. . . .
