Summary

No Bodies.
No Signs of Violence.
Just a Message on A Bloody Stone.

The first stand-alone action thriller in the Amazon-bestselling series that has enthralled thousands of listeners around the world.

  • Pure adrenaline
  • Historical conspiracies
  • Sinister villains
  • 1970s grooviness
  • And a headstrong hero

Enter the world of Dale Conley. Don’t forget to buckle up....

The government recruited him. They were looking for the smartest. They got the toughest.

Dale Conley’s covert investigations take him deep into the shadows - but he’s never seen anything this dark. In rural Virginia, an entire utopian community vanishes overnight. A mass kidnapping. All that remains is a cryptic message chiseled into a bloody stone.

As Dale feverishly races the clock, he not only discovers an eerie connection to the fabled Lost Colony of Roanoke, but he’s also met with the demented kidnapper’s escalating demands. Yet it’s only when survivors begin to reappear - maimed, broken, dead - that Dale realizes the kidnapper knows about Dale’s dark past. Now Dale must clash with his own demons to have any chance at saving the missing people.

Each Dale Conley thriller brims with historical intrigue. Stone Groove features: The Lost Colony of Roanoke and the mysterious Dare Stones.

If you like action heroes with the tenacity of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher, the intelligence of Dan Brown’s Robert Langdon, and the sheer grit of Robert Ludlum’s Jason Bourne, then you’ll love Dale Conley.

Call me Father.

Before his life was re-invented some two years before, Dale Conley was first a reporter for his university friend's rag, the World Wide Weekly Report then left after an especially traumatizing investigation, to become briefly, a best selling author specializing in mystery stories in which the reader had to unravel cryptic puzzles before being able to continue with the book. Now he is a Special Agent working for the secret B.E.I. - Bureau of Esoteric Investigation - part of the Department of justice. So he was obviously the man to call in when, without any apparent reason, a whole village goes missing. No sign of violence or any outside influences and no sign of the 147 inhabitants. Just a blood covered stone with the single word, Roanoke, scratched into the surface. Where did everyone go?

Stone Groove is an intriguing, action packed mystery thriller which links to an historical disappearance of the Roanoke community when America was first being settled. Vividly written, there is a real feeling of presence in the various locations visited as Dale struggles to unravel clues to the locations of the missing people as well as finding out the why and the who of what was going on with some shocks along the way. Interesting little tidbits of history, too. Although not written in the first person, the reader is given clear insight into Sales thoughts, fears - and terror. The characterisation of the lead protagonist is excellent and other of the characters are also well developed.I

Dale is an easy going, sarcastic agent, "a mezs" according to certain of his more conventional bureau colleagues and narrator Adam Verner captures his personality beautifully in his excellent reading. His pleasant, melifluous voice is well cadenced, with a slowish delivery and a touch of whimsy, fitting the character of Dale, but which adjusts to the speed of the text. All the protagonists are distinctive and. individually voiced. A good performance.

This is one of those, 'can the reader unravel the clues first? ' type of thriller, with the occasional gasp out loud reaction to events unfolding. A deep word of thanks to the rights holder who, in response to my request via Audiobook Boom, freely gifted me with a complimentary of of Stone Groov. It was exciting, enthralling and I loved it.
I sincerely hope that the next Dale Conley book, Dream On, will also appear in audio format soon. Highly recommended
