Download The Providence Rider: A Matthew Corbett Novel, Book 4 AudioBook Free
The Providence Rider is the fourth installment in the outstanding series of historical thrillers displaying Matthew Corbett, professional problem solver. The narrative commences in the winter of 1703, with Matthew still haunted by his lethal face with notorious mass murderer Tyranthus Slaughter. When an unexplained series of explosions rocks his Manhattan area, Matthew finds himself compelled to confront a fresh and unexpected problem. Someone is trying - and striving very hard - to get his attention. That someone is a shadowy body from out of Matthew's history: the elusive Dr. Fell. The physician, as it happens, has a issue of his own, the one which requires the exclusive services of Matthew Corbett.The ensuing narrative steps quickly and gracefully from the appearing metropolis of NEW YORK to Pendulum Island in the remote Bermudas. Throughout his journey, Matthew encounters a Dickensian assortment of memorable, often grotesque, antagonists. These include Sirki, the large, deceptively soft-spoken East Indian killer, Dr. Jonathan Gentry, a specialist in spectacular potions with a drug abuse issue of his own, the beautiful but murderous Aria Chillany, and, of course, the grasp manipulator and "Emperor of Criminal offenses" on two continents, Dr. Fell himself. The result is both an exquisitely built novel of suspense and a careful recreation of any bygone era. Filled with risk, narrative surprises, and an almost tangible sense of place, The Providence Rider is historical fiction at its finest and most developed. It's the novel that McCammon's many dedicated readers have been waiting for. They will not be disappointed.
