Could the past he thought he'd escaped be reaching out to him from the Black House . . .

Twenty years ago, a boy named Jack Sawyer travelled to a parallel universe called the Territories in search of the talisman to save his mother's life.

Now Jack is a former Los Angeles homicide detective living in the quiet town of French Landing in Wisconsin. But a series of murders involving young children force him out of retirement.

If Jack is to save the latest victim, he must retrieve his childhood memories and revisit the one place he never wanted to see again . . .

Great story and characters. Enjoyed the plot again darkly twisted at points with gross detailed descriptions but not too much too turn me off!

I read this book when it first came out. Anyway in the intervening years I just forgot the story. Anyway because of the third one in the series coming out I thought I had better refresh myself of the story.
I wasn’t disappointed. It was fabulous. Great storytelling brilliant narration and it ties in brilliant to the Dark Tower.
It’s well worth a listen.

Brilliant.

Slow and frustrating to begin with but came through in the end. It really goes full Dark Tower in the final half.

Great story with a slow start

That was a great listen. Took me awhile to wrap my head around all the characters but when it clicked it was great. Worth a revisit in years to come.

Very enjoyable
