The Gentle Axe » (Unabridged)

R. N. Morris sold his first short story to a teenage girls' magazine while still a student at Cambridge University. One of his stories, The Devil's Drum, was turned into a one-act opera, while another, Revenants, was published as a comic book. He lives in North London.

Atmospheric and tense from its dramatic opening to its shocking climax, "The Gentle Axe" is a spellbinding historical crime novel—set in 1867 Russia—that explores the darkest places of the human heart with tremendous energy, empathy, and wit. Unabridged. 1 MP3 CD.
