Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Scott Sowers delivers a solid performance reading Hart's powerful second novel. Five years ago, Adam Chase was put on trial for the murder of a local teenager. Although he was acquitted of the crime, the majority of Rowan County, N.C., was never convinced of his innocence. The resulting hostility and humiliation compelled him to leave his hometown and escape to the anonymous streets of New York. A phone call from one of his oldest friends brings Adam back home, where he finds himself embroiled in a thick web of old family secrets and lies that lead back to that murder and to a death that has haunted him and his family for more than two decades. Hart writes with an intimate sense of melancholy and loss that Sowers resonates perfectly. Using a low-key, Southern accent to good advantage, Sowers draws the listener into the story from the very beginning with his simple, earnest delivery, and holds them tight.

From AudioFile

Southern writer John Hart's work has a lyrical quality that Scott Sowers narrates with a growling weariness. After being acquitted for murder five years earlier and running away from his ancestral home, Adam Chase is back--to face his past, his future, and himself. Sowers captures Adam's confusion with grace and offers distinct portrayals of the other characters through Adam's lens. Sowers provides a bewitching rhythm and pace, expertly capturing and elevating this story of redemption. The combination of Hart and Sowers provides the perfect marriage of prose and voice. Together they enable the book to transcend genre fiction and become something exceptional. E.D.H.

5.0 out of 5 stars And You Think You Have a Dysfunctional Family, Mar 25 2008

By	Professor Donald Mitchell "Jesus Makes Me a P... (Boston) - See all my reviews (#1 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Down River: A Novel (Hardcover)

Just when it seemed like it would be impossible to create a new form of a troubled family, John Hart smashes our stereotypes with some serious new dimensions to that clich�, the dysfunctional family. Many people have had wicked stepmothers, but how many have had a stepmother who accuses a stepchild of murder and becomes the main witness against him?

After an acquittal, Adam Chase is paid off by his father for Adam's inheritance in the family partnership and leaves town for New York where he leads an aimless life. All that changes when his best friend calls from North Carolina asking Adam to return to help him make something of himself. Adam procrastinates but eventually heads home.

Once there, he finds that time has not healed very many wounds . . . but has certainly opened some new ones.

It's like the story of the prodigal son, except the prodigal isn't treated with open arms by his father. Instead, the prodigal is shunned and treated like he's killed someone.

That background quickly heats up as new violence flares around Adam and his family. Because of his background, Adam finds himself accused again . . . even if he's only in the vicinity.

As badly as Adam has been doing, others have been struggling more.

John Hart does an outstanding job of keeping family mysteries, crime mysteries, and personal mysteries up in the air while slowly bringing Adam up to date on what's really been going on in his home town. Unlike most stories of this sort, I was kept guessing about many things right up to the end. I found that combination of good story telling, excellent character development, strong plot, lean narration, and lots of action made for a superb book.

Bravo! John Hart is a major talent. It's always great to find such a writer when he's early in his career. I plan to read his first book, King of Lies, as well.
