About this listen
There's more than one kind of poison in this town. People are sick and dying. Rumors are swirling. Some claim chemicals leaking from a manufacturing plant are causing the cancer that’s crippling people on the poor side of Trenton City, Ohio. Yet nothing at the plant appears amiss. The problem remains a mystery until reporter Jack Crittendon’s longtime mechanic falls ill.
As Jack investigates, he becomes engulfed in a smokescreen of lies, setups, greed, and scandal. The deeper he digs, the more toxic the corruption he uncovers. As he faces off with the big-time players behind the scenes and tries to beat the clock before more people die, he realizes the chillingly unthinkable - he knows way too much.

Story
It was more than a break-in. More than a stalking. It was personal. When a stalker targets his family, journalist Jack Crittendon must uncover who the person is and what his motives are - if he is to protect the ones he loves. It will lead Crittendon into a world of behind-closed-door secrets and faith gone awry, as does his investigation of a missing pastor, whose apparent suicide is more than it appears.

Story
Reporter Hudson Ambrose hears an early morning call on his police scanner about an injured person at a bus stop on Las Vegas Boulevard and rushes to the scene. His world is blown off its axis when he discovers a murdered homeless man with a bankbook in his pocket showing a balance of almost one million dollars. Should Hudson wait for the police, knowing the case will get lost in reams of red tape, or swipe the bankbook and take the investigation - and perhaps a chunk of the money - into his own hands?

Deep, yet entertaining!
I love how this author attacks real situations that come up in a believers life without having it ruined the story. What I mean by that, is it is authentically interwoven into the story in real ways—. I love how the ‘Poison’ theme was used throughout without dumbing it down.

Edge of your seat suspense!
This is the 2nd book in the series, The Crittendon Files. If you like suspense, this is your series. There are no dull moments. Creston Mapes does a fabulous job of weaving the story, with twists and turns, and NO bad language! My husband and I love his writing and highly recommend this book, and the series, to everyone. Can't wait for the 3rd book!

It can be titled Fear Has a Name 2. Make sure to listen to Fear Has a Name (1) before this title. Both are good listens with positive values and thrilling action sequences. Top notch story construction with great (not over-acted) narration
