The Serialist (by David Gordon) app for iPhone and iPad

THE SERIALIST by David Gordon (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

After the Photo Killer, a high-profile murderer who claims to be innocent, asks writer Harry Bloch to pen his memoir, several women are murdered in the Photo Killer’s signature style. Now Harry is a prime suspect—or is he the next target?

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audios Audie Award-winning narrator Bronson Pinchot. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

“This noir sendup turns out to be a real killer debut….The book is funny, with a satirical edge, and unlike some literary authors who play with genre, Gordon knows how to write a potboiler.” (Los Angeles Times)

All Harry Bloch knows about catching a serial killer is what he has learned from writing his own pulp novels. But Harry’s life takes a sudden dramatic turn when the Photo Killer, a high-profile murderer who claims to be innocent, asks Harry to ghostwrite his memoir. No sooner has Harry begun his research than several women are murdered in the Photo Killer’s signature style, just hours after Harry interviewed them. Now Harry is a prime suspect—or is he the next target? Forced to play detective in a real-life murder mystery plot, Harry begins to seek the real killer and turns up more than he could have imagined.
