Harrington StrongThe Brand of Silence - A Detective Story (October 23, 2009)

Would you like to try our new video/audio player ? (beta!)

LibriVox recording of The Brand of Silence – A Detective Story by Harrington Strong. Read by Roger Melin.

Harrington Strong was a pseudonym used by author Johnston McCulley, creator of the character Zorro and many others. The Brand of Silence – A Detective Story finds Sidney Prale returning to New York after ten years during which he sought his fortune. But he finds New York a very changed place, and even more distressing, he finds that his old friends are now turning their backs on him, his old haunts no longer welcome him, and there seems to be a conspiracy against him.

Why can't he receive service in hotels, restaurants, and theaters that he once frequented? Who is working against him? And just as importantly, why? And what is the meaning of the notes he receives which remind him of "retribution"? (Summary by Roger Melin)

Subject: 5 is 2 too many
First class reader interpreting a tight story line by one of the better Hollywood hacks. Clean prose without too many subordinate clauses. Must be 1950's? But no date is given...

Subject: Good brand of silence
This one kept my attention from the beginning and I didn't have a even a bad guess as to who it was until almost the end.

Subject: I have listened to this book 2x
And enjoyed it both times. The summary covers the plot of the story.

I listen to books at work, and sometimes I get caught up in a book so much that I put it on my kindle and head home and finish the book. This was just such a story.

Roger M is one of my favorite readers. Thanks again for a great story!

Subject: Thank You Roger
I'd like to thank the reader (Roger Melin) for this book. It kept me company on a 2 day journey in the car. Roger is an excellent reader and the story keeps you engaged. I didn't get sleepy while listening. 5 Stars for a good book and a great reader.
