Publisher's Summary
The year is 1703. The place: The Carolina settlement of Charles Town. Matthew Corbett, professional 'problem solver,' has accepted a lucrative, if unusual, commission: Escorting a beautiful woman to a fancy dress ball.
What should be a pleasant assignment takes a darker turn when Matthew becomes involved in a murder investigation. A sixteen-year-old girl has been stabbed to death on the grounds of a local plantation. The suspected killer is a slave who has escaped, with two family members, into the dubious protection of a nearby swamp. Troubled by certain discrepancies and determined to see some sort of justice done, Matthew joins the hunt for the runaway slaves. He embarks on a treacherous journey up the Solstice River, also known as the River of Souls. He discovers that something born of the swamp has joined the hunt...and is stalking the hunters with more than murder in mind.
What follows is a shattering ordeal encompassing snakes, alligators, exiled savages, mythical beasts, and ordinary human treachery. The journey up the River of Souls will test Matthew's courage, commitment, and powers of endurance. It will also lead him to a confrontation with a figure from his recent past, which will alter Matthew's life, setting the stage for the next installment in this compulsively readable series.
Gripping, unsettling, and richly atmospheric, The River of Souls is a masterful historical adventure and a major addition to Robert McCammon's extraordinary body of work. Featuring the continuing exploits of a young hero USA Today has called 'the Early American James Bond.'

Brilliant McCammon!
Just as I thought the end of these books might be predictable, McCammon steps up and adds a twist.

Great series BUT
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I really enjoyed everything about this series and was expecting another great listen with The River of souls. But!!!!!
Would you recommend The River of Souls to your friends? Why or why not?
If you've read the other in the series of course you must purchase this book. However the ending is something I did not expect. I actually thought I must not have downloaded the complete book. Terrible ending so quick and left questions unanswered.
What does Edoardo Ballerini bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
What a wonderful narrator. I could picture everything with his voice changes. Brilliant narrator!
Was The River of Souls worth the listening time?
Of course but as I said too short as though the ending was rushed to get to the publisher
Any additional comments?
Just hope the next book is more like his early books in the series. Very dissointed at the end
