Fear No Evil

Written by Thomas Henry Jones

Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki

They were the golden boys of Huntington, Indiana: Jarrod Wall, a 17-year-old Sunday school teacher, track star, top student, and local heartthrob; and his friends Erick Esch, a high school football hero, and John Jesus Valasquez. They were well-liked, all-American teens. Until one night when Jarrod and Erick entered the house of a local car collector Eldon Anson and burglarized the bachelor’s home—and Jarrod murdered him with repeated hatchet blows to the skull….

At first, the stunning crime seemed an unmotivated, inexplicable act. But in fact it was the premeditated, cold-blooded slaying of a man none of them knew. So why Anson? Wall’s private demons erupted years later in prison, revealing his overwhelming shame and perverse sense of family honor that drove him to enact revenge upon an innocent stranger—a crime that stunned the community, and forever stripped the mask of innocence off the face of evil.

Reviews for Fear No Evil

[Helena Souza · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Impossible to listen to because the narrator's voice is so weird. I mean, it's a gorgeous voice but not for an audiobook it's too "thick" and low. The book itself is a good reading, a sad and almost unbelievable situation.
