About this audiobook

They call him the Blood Bath Killer -- a man who has now killed two Boston women by sneaking into their homes, filling the bathtub with their blood, and making off with their bodies. And everything suggests that he's poised to strike again.

Out to stop him are two good cops -- Detective Angel Alves and his hard-driven boss, Sergeant Wayne Mooney -- and waiting in the wings to provide justice is a team of young prosecutors led by Assistant District Attorney Conrad Darget. His team, a Homicide Response Team featuring attorneys handpicked by the DA to represent the office at all murder scenes, is managed by the dedicated Liz Moore and consists of a diverse group, from the erudite but troubled Mitch Beaulieu to the aggressive but so-far-unsuccessful Nick Costa to the hard-working and principled Brendan Sullivan.

But as the bodies continue to disappear, the case becomes more personal, difficult, and dangerous for everyone involved. First, a victim turns out to be a childhood friend of Alves's. Then, it becomes clear that the only connection between victims is time spent on juries at the South Bay District Courthouse -- the Homicide Response Team's headquarters -- which means that the killer is among them.

A gripping first novel distinguished by breakneck pacing, accessible prose, and intriguing detail of the world of criminal law, Eight in the Box will thrill all fans of commercial suspense.

    Right from the start we learn that Eight in the Box is a legal term, referring to the number of people sitting on a jury. There are, quite literally, eight people in a box, in a courtroom, waiting to hear a trial and determine the fate of one person. There is a reason television shows like Law & Order have lasted as long as they have and keep multiplying, people love the dark side of the law. Raffi Yessayan writes about this gritty world with accuracy and doesn’t hold anything back. Yessayan, a former Boston prosecutor and now defense attorney, has walked the dark streets of Boston and writes from experience. In Eight in the Box we are immediately greeted with a brutal murder, a bathtub filled with blood and a serial killer, aptly named the “Blood Bath Killer.” Yessayan presents the reader with the facts and lets the story slowly unfold with spine-tingling details and a mysteriously cloaked killer named Richter. Yessayan will leave you turning the pages faster than you can say “Pahked the cah.” Move over Dennis Lehane, Boston has a new voice in crime fiction.
