Harlem

by Eric Jerome Dickey Narrated by JD Jackson

Overview

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. . . .

Editorial Reviews

JANUARY 2021 - AudioFile

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
