Burn Me Deadly (by Alex Bledsoe)

BURN ME DEADLY by Alex Bledsoe (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

HONORS: Winner of the AudioFile Earphones® Award

Eddie LaCrosse, freelance sword jockey for hire, discovers a half-naked blonde in serious trouble. Against his better judgment, he promises to help her, only to encounter a notorious crime lord, dragon cult, and royal scandals.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audios Audie® Award-winning narrator Stefan Rudnicki. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

“Narrator Stefan Rudnicki hooks listeners from the start…. This is a story listeners HAVE to hear—reading print just wont be the same.”—AudioFile

Alex Bledsoe’s The Sword-Edged Blonde drew rave reviews for its ingenious blend of fantasy and hard-boiled detective fiction. Now he brings back freelance sword jockey Eddie LaCrosse in an all-new tale of mean streets and medieval intrigue.

Eddie’s on his way back from a routine investigation when his horse almost runs down a half-naked blonde in serious trouble. Against his better judgment, he promises to protect the frightened young woman, only to find himself waylaid by unknown assailants and left for dead beside her mutilated body. Eddie’s quest for payback leads him to a tangled mystery involving a notorious crime lord, a backwoods dragon cult, royal scandals, and a duplicitous femme fatale who has trouble keeping her clothes on. As the bodies pile up, Eddie must use all his wits if he hopes to survive.
