Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Police detective Charlotte Monroe arrives home in Coral Gables, Fla., one evening to find her lawyer husband, Parker, and their teenage daughter, Gracey, chatting amiably with a man she's never met, Jacob Bright Sky Panther, the Cherokee nephew of one of Parker's old friends. The always observant Charlotte recognizes Panther's face—he's number eight on the FBI's Most Wanted list. Before the SWAT team can arrive, Panther has fled with Gracey in tow, and this fast-paced, entertaining thriller has kicked into high gear, taking the reader to the mountains of North Carolina and deep into the pasts of Panther, Parker and the entire Cherokee Nation. The plot linking these characters is, predictably, convoluted and over the top, but it's compelling, with action scenes that bristle with visceral intensity. But Hall's real strength is characterization. Charlotte is a fascinating protagonist with an unusually valuable gift—an unparalleled ability to interpret facial expressions—but her role is more that of concerned parent and troubled wife (one hopes her investigative prowess will be a future novel's focus). Nearly everyone has real depth, and the author's appreciation for history and its reverberations adds further complexity.

From AudioFile

Hall's book is like a good B movie. The story is entertaining and the reading by Laural Merlington good, but the plot takes a few turns that seem a bit out of kilter. The story features Charlotte Munroe, an almost psychic patrolwoman whose life is upended by Jacob Panther, a vengeful Cherokee Indian on the FBI's Most Wanted list. Panther appears one afternoon at Munroe's home and convinces Munroe's troubled daughter to run off with him, sending Munroe to North Carolina, where she confronts scads of evil. Laural Merlington's reading is solid, albeit a bit workmanlike. She is particularly effective in her portrayal of Munroe, a well-drawn character whose emotions she captures well. FORESTS OF THE NIGHT qualifies as a guilty pleasure. D.J.S. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.
