About this listen

North Dakota’s Bakken oil fields held the promise of unimaginable wealth… But for some, the price was paid in blood.

James Henrikson was a man driven by greed and a lust for power. A mix of charm and ruthlessness, he carefully concealed his criminal past while rising to oilfield royalty alongside his equally deceptive wife, Sarah Creveling. But their short-lived empire was fragile, a house of cards held together by lies. When it all began to crumble, James was blinded by rage and consumed by a need for revenge.

Kristopher “K. C.” Clarke, young, well-liked, and full of promise, vanished without a trace one cold North Dakota morning—his belongings left behind, his fate a baffling mystery. Nearly two years later outside Spokane, Washington, Doug Carlile, a beloved family man with big dreams, was gunned down in his own home.

The two victims had one chilling connection: James Henrikson. What followed was a high-stakes race to unravel a tangled web of conspiracy, murder, and betrayal. As federal and local investigators closed in, the truth was even more staggering than anyone expected.

If you're into true crime that’s both gripping and deeply unsettling, Miles of Destruction is a standout.

C.J. Wynn dives into the dark side of the North Dakota oil boom, where greed, deception, and murder intersect.

The story follows James Henrikson, a man driven by power and revenge, and the consequences of his violent ambition—from the disappearance of K.C. Clarke to the shocking murder of Doug Carlile.

The writing is strong, with timelines that keep you on edge. Some parts slow down just a bit, but it always picks back up with high-stakes tension.

What really makes this audiobook shine, though, is Marcus Barton's narration.
Barton is phenomenal—his delivery is clear, engaging, and perfectly paced. He strikes the right tone throughout, whether he's voicing sinister manipulation or moments of heartbreak and suspense. He doesn’t just read the story—he performs it, and it makes all the difference.

Highly recommended if you love well-crafted true crime with a psychological edge and top-tier narration. I couldn’t stop listening.
