Description
In 1934, America was gripped by economic hardship. Amidst the misery, two men with dubious reputations emerged: John Partlow and Ginger LaFrance. They turned to an elaborate kidnapping-for-ransom scheme in New Orleans, leaving their small-time scams behind. Meanwhile, Curtis Mayhew, a young man working as a redcap at the Union Railroad Station, had a reputation for mediating disputes among his friends. Unbeknownst to them, Curtis possessed a unique talent - the ability to hear things that weren't spoken aloud. This gift drew him into Partlow and LaFrance's world when he overheard a child's cry for help. A gripping depression-era crime thriller, The Listener is a complex tale infused with powerful social commentary and hints of the supernatural.
