Description
"A sermon on the struggle between good and evil is expressed in a metaphorical thriller. Young, innocent Kevin is a seminarian with a dark past. “Slater,” a mysterious psycho, calls him on his cell phone and threatens bomb-delivered mayhem unless Kevin confesses to a past sin. But what sin? Slater gives him clues in the form of riddles. Can his angelic childhood sweetheart and the brilliant lady FBI agent who also loves him help him out of this nightmare? There are plenty of thrills and chills and a moral lesson to boot, but not much by way of good writing or sophistication. Rob Lamont gives a spirited, albeit occasionally eccentric, reading in a sandy, mature baritone. He doesn’t do much with characterization, but there’s not much characterization for him to grab onto."xa0 Y.R. © AudioFile Portland, Maine
Features & Highlights
- The nightmare has just begun... your world has changed forever. “Evil is beyond the reach of no man.” “But can a man remove himself beyond the reach of evil?” Kevin asked. “Indeed,” Dr. Francis said. “Can man step beyond evil’s reach? I think not. Not in this lifetime.” “Then all men are condemned to a life of evil,” Kevin said. “A lifetime struggle with evil, not a life of evil,” Dr. Francis clarified. Imagine answering your cell phone one day to a male voice that gives you three minutes to confess your sin. If you don’t, the madman, Slater, will blow your car to smithereens. You barely manage to exit heavy traffic and ditch the car when, precisely three minutes later, your car blows sky high. The media and police descend on the scene; your world has just changed forever. So begins the nightmare that grows with progressively higher stakes. There ís another phone call, another riddle. The cycle will not stop until the world discovers the secret of your sin, but you don’t have a clue what that sin is. If not for Jennifer, the brilliant FBI agent working to corner Slater, you would indeed go mad.
