Indigo: A Novel

by Charlaine Harris, Christopher Golden, Cherie Priest, James A. Moore, Jonathan Maberry Narrated by Christina Delaine

Overview

In a brilliant collaboration by New York Times and critically acclaimed coauthors Charlaine Harris, Christopher Golden, Kelley Armstrong, Jonathan Maberry, Kat Richardson, Seanan McGuire, Tim Lebbon, Cherie Priest, James A. Moore, and Mark Morris join forces to bring you a crime-solving audiobook like you've never heard before.

Investigative reporter Nora Hesper spends her nights cloaked in shadows. As Indigo, she's become an urban myth, a brutal vigilante who can forge darkness into weapons and travel across the city by slipping from one patch of shadow to another. Her primary focus both as Nora and as Indigo has become a murderous criminal cult called the Children of Phonos. Children are being murdered in New York, and Nora is determined to make it stop, even if that means Indigo must eliminate every member. But in the aftermath of a bloody battle, a dying cultist makes claims that cause Indigo to question her own origin and memories.

Nora's parents were killed when she was nineteen years old. She took the life insurance money and went off to explore the world, leading to her becoming a student of meditation and strange magic in a mountaintop monastery in Nepal...a history that many would realize sounds suspiciously like the origins of several comic book characters. As Nora starts to pick apart her memory, it begins to unravel. Her parents are dead, but the rest is a series of lies. Where did she get the power inside her?

Indigo draws her superhuman powers from the shadows—any shadow, from under the stairs to the wrong side of the tracks. Narrator Christina Delaine gives a full three dimensions to this complicated female crime fighter who searches for the truth behind the violent deaths of her parents while taking on a brutal battle to wipe a child-slavery ring off the face of the earth. Delaine’s vocal talents are especially convincing with the many male characters in the book, including the diabolical mastermind behind the child-kidnapping cult and the 2,500-year-old Egyptian demigod that lives in Indigo’s mind. With Delaine at the microphone, the emotions sound real, and the action is nonstop. B.P. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine

This collaboration among ten writers, including Harris, Christopher Golden, and Kelley Armstrong, features investigative reporter Nora Hesper, who moonlights as the vigilante Indigo. In both roles, she focuses on a cult that's murdering children, but events soon make her consider her own past—in particular, what happened after her parents were killed.
