From AudioFile British Naval Intelligence officer David Trevelyan discovers a dead body in a Manhattan alley. Initially accused of the man's murder, Trevelyan becomes ensnared in an FBI investigation that puts him squarely in the crosshairs of a female psychopathic criminal kingpin. The plot and its wonderfully breathless pace are over the top in the best Bond tradition--listeners will risk missing their exit or spending extra time in the parking lot because they simply cannot stop listening. (Squeamish men should be advised of a particularly nasty torture scene involving a prized portion of the anatomy.) John Lee's patrician British accent perfectly embodies the coolly ruthless Trevelyan, but his attempts at American accents frequently border on caricature.
