Ex-cop turned Prison Chaplain John Jordan is one of crime fiction's most original heroes, and his creator, Michael Lister is one of the genre's freshest voices" PJ Parish."Michael Lister may be the author of the most unique series running in mystery fiction. It crackles with tension and authenticity." Michael Connelly
"Eerie and cinematic, classic whodunits with thoroughly modern sensibilities. John Jordan manages to be deeply flawed yet utterly appealing. Lister, with his gift for exploring the nuances of human relationships, creates a vivid and multi-faceted supporting cast, each character finely-wrought, each portrayal unflinching. Suspenseful, complex and original, page-turners with a soul." Lisa Unger
"Michael Lister writes one of the most ambitious and unusual crime fiction series going. In his unique voice, Lister examines human beings' responses to a fundamentally inhuman situation. Not for the faint of heart, it's Heart of Darkness meets The Shawshank Redemption. Read this book and see what crime fiction is capable of." Julia Spencer-Fleming
Michael Koryta says, "If you like crime writing with depth, suspense, and sterling prose, you should be reading Michael Lister."
The Florida Book Review says that "Vintage Michael Lister is poetic prose, exquisitely set scenes, characters who are damaged and faulty"
"Michael Lister is a giant talent with a unique vision. His landmark John Jordan Mystery series is a treasure of contemporary literature." Florida Weekly

About this title

Review:

KIRKUS REVIEWA prison chaplain risks everything for the woman he loves.John Jordan, former police officer and recovering alcoholic, has loved Anna Taunton for a long time. Anna, eight months pregnant, is in the middle of divorcing her husband, lawyer Chris Taunton, to marry John when Chris is shot and wounded and she's kidnapped. John asks his police chief father to hide Chris and claim he's died while John attempts to rescue Anna. Her kidnapper tells John that to secure her release, he must find a way to break an unnamed prisoner out of the Florida prison where he works as a chaplain. The new warden doesn't like John, and Rachel Peterson, the new inspector general of the Department of Corrections, is looking into his involvement in the death of the psych specialist Hahn Ling--an investigation that could bring criminal charges against him. When the kidnappers finally reveal the name of the prisoner they want him to free, John has precious little time to come up with a plan. Getting the man out of prison is the easy part. Everything falls apart after the initial escape, leaving John and Anna on the run from a vicious psychopath and prison personnel desperate to cover up their own crimes.John's ninth appearance (Blood Money, 2015, etc.) uses Lister's experiences as a prison chaplain to bring authenticity to the tense story of a man forced to make decisions that go against his deeply held beliefs.
