About this listen

Kurt Hauptmann will learn to make stained glass to help men see the glory of God, one of the many bizarre heritages handed down from his ancestry. But the family has other, more frightening secrets. The path to God runs through darkness as well as light. And the bond of a family is blood, its own and that of its enemies.

What is the strangeness in Uncle Detlef, head of the stained-glass studio? Why has he descended from his cathedral roofs to steeplejack the perils of a secular world? What are his secrets? Why do the family's holy rites seem perverse?

Most of all, why are men getting killed in bizarre, archaic ways here in South Florida?

As Kurt gropes toward the truth, so does the tough and cynical cop, Jack Skelote. What lies before them is a limbo of murdered martyrs, unblessed, unholy, and unburied.

I've recently discovered the excellent work of Thomas Sullivan. His novel Case White is one of the best books I've ever read, so I decided to check out more of his work. The Martyring is another compelling mystery. It's beautifully written and really engaging.
I thought Bob Walter's narration was very good, though he does have a slightly odd rhythm to his delivery, almost like William Shatner. I thought he did a great job with the characters and I'd certainly listen to another audiobook narrated by him.
This is a fantastic audiobook that I'm sure I'll revisit in the future.
Highly recommended.
