About this listen
Emma Locke recalled little about the brutal murder she witnessed after blacking out. The killer escaped. Now, years later and haunted by a terrifying past, the dark corners of her memory are about to light up. At a high-security facility in the Nevada desert, rookie CIA agent Emma Locke is on assignment. During an interrogation she suspects that Jonas Blackheart, a clairvoyant with a mysterious past, is her sister’s executioner. Revenge is on Emma's mind. Her finger is on the trigger. There’s only one problem. To stop a national catastrophe, it's her job to keep him alive.

The story is about the attempt to reaquire the stolen virus, but this takes second stage to the relationship between Locke and Blackheart and the recovery of her lost memories of the past as she begins to suspect that he was implicated in the deaths of her family years before, 'the day that changed her life forever'. Cleverly constructed to give the reader memory flashbacks alongside those of Emma, herself, the action-filled search for the virus carries everything forward with exciting, sometimes unexpected, revelations along the way. Complex, but easy to follow, a whole slice of world both past and present is revealed.
Narration is by S.W.Salzman whose slightly gruff voice, rather like a full, loud whisper, is of pleasant timbre and he gives good individual voicings to each of the protagonists. However, his downbeat presentation becomes hypnotic with time, distracting from the words spoken and giving a monotonous listening experience which lulled this reader into non attention, requiring a section to be back tracked and repeated on several occasions.
My thanks to the rights holder of Jonas Blackheart, who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy. Not having read an earlier book, The 7th Jackal, I had no real idea of what to expect and was very pleasantly surprised, impressed. So much so that I have already purchased that audio book to read (Narrator in this case, J.Scott Bennett). Despite certain reservations about the narration, this is a book I will be recommending to friends who enjoy well characterized thrillers with a background mystery.
