A big cat living in the Florida Everglades survives two unusual encounters with humans. Caras weaves a wealth of factual information about panthers and their world with a very personal statement about the grandeur of things wild and man's uneasy relationship with them. Jones has a rich, masculine voice; he reads with the fluency of a seasoned professional, consistently avoiding the text's greatest pitfall, numerous tooth-and-claw passages, which easily could be overdramatized. Sound and packaging are at Recorded Books' usual high standard.

Complete with creative production touches, the result is a dark, satisfying listen.
Listeners don't just experience a fascinating historical drama--they also become steeped in a bloody gothic Western. Stellar performances are the center of this compelling listening experience. Narrator Marin Ireland fully embodies the beleaguered humanities professor who, while deep diving into the campus archive, discovers the story of her ancestors. At the same time, she is struggling with her tenure committee. In a deft transition back to 1912, Owen Teale's performance of a Lutheran pastor exhibits gravitas as he slowly unwinds the secrets of his relationship with Good Stab, a Blackfeet Indian who mysteriously appears in his congregation. Shane Ghostkeeper provides Good Stab with a subtle yet ferocious performance as the two face each other's buried truths.
