About this listen

When a fourth child is taken, Solomon Glass knows what to expect. An anonymous letter to the mother, making a promise: kill yourself and your child will be released. He knows because two women are dead already. Glass has just survived his own nightmare - a tragedy, an internal investigation and a spell off the force. In his race to uncover the kidnapper, Glass must enter the darkest side of himself, a place he's barely able to go but where he knows he will find the answers. And the more he learns, the more he suspects that's exactly what the killer wants him to do. So begins a deadly game of cat and mouse, played for the highest stakes of all. And Hope to Die is a dark, powerfully compelling psychological thriller that will chill you to the core.©2007 John Clanchy & Mark Henshaw. (P)2010 Bolinda Publishing Suspense Heartfelt

Editor reviews

Plunging listeners into a nightmarish realm of child abduction and torture, And Hope to Die was born of a star-studded partnership between three Australian masters of psychological suspense. The brainchild of crime masters John Clanchy and Mark Henshaw - working together here under the pseudonym J. M. Calder - this harrowing horror story finds a capable suitor in the stark, sinister strains of actor Humphrey Bower, an Earphone Award-winning performer of crime fiction. Reeling from a family tragedy, Lieutenant Solomon Glass is set on the trail of a crazed serial kidnapper who demands suicide in exchange for the release of his child victims. Three mothers are already dead, and only by indulging in the maniacal whims of the kidnapper can Glass hope to stall the violence.

Critic reviews

"And Hope To Die is memorable both for the frightening opening scenario and the savage change of direction that the plot takes midway through. This is a thriller to savour." (Australian Crime Fiction Database)
"Humphrey Bower is remarkable in this chilling story of veteran police officer Solomon Glass's encounter with the sickest of psychopaths. Bower, an Australian, never slips. His American accent is flawless. His women's voices have a soft, unstrained quality, and the voices of children don't cloy. Bower's interpretations of Glass and the vicious kidnapper are utterly compelling, and the bloody conclusion is an absolute stunner." (AudioFile Magazine)
