The Dying Hour introduces Jason Wade, a rookie crime reporter with the Seattle Mirror, a loner who grew up in the shadow of a brewery in one of the city’s blue-collar neighborhoods. At the Seattle Mirror, he is competing for the single full-time job being offered through the paper’s intense intern program. But unlike the program’s other young reporters, who attended big name schools and worked at other big metro dailies, Wade put himself through community college, and lacked the same experience. Wade struggles with his haunting past as he pursues the story of Karen Harding, a college student whose car was found abandoned on a lonely stretch of highway in the Pacific Northwest. How could this beloved young woman with the altruistic nature simply vanish? Wade battles mounting odds and cut-throat competition to unearth the truth behind Karen Harding’s disturbing case. Her disappearance is a story he cannot give up, never realizing the toll it could exact from him. The Dying Hour is a bone-chilling, mesmerizing tale that introduces listeners to an all-too-human young hero who journeys into the darkest regions of the human heart to confront a nightmare.

Fast paced, a great cast of characters, a healthy dose of blood, guts and gore galore and enough twists and turns to keep you guessing till the very end. Great, great book.
Wow. Just wow. Rick Mofina moves to the top of my list, to join other top writers like Gresham, Patterson, Parker, and more. The Dying Hour will keep you on the edge of your seat – cliché, but true. Jason and the other characters are well developed, fully realized. Their relationships, emotions, and personal back stories engage you and enrich a truly frightening plot. Wellpaced, w
