Synopsis

In the worst case of treason in U.S. history, General William Morrison has been charged with a breathtaking array of crimes. Oddsmakers give Sean Drummond zero chance of saving his client from a death sentence. However, his obligation runs deeper than simply professional: Morrison's wife, a CIA executive, has begged Sean to save her husband, and Drummond doesn't want to disappoint his old flame. Despite ever-more-damning intelligence leaks that paint Morrison as worse than Bene- dict Arnold, Drummond bulls ahead and comes to suspect that this simple case of treason is actually a chess game being played at the highest levels by the best and brightest-one in which Morrison is merely a pawn.

From AudioFile:

THE KINGMAKER, third in the Drummond adventure series, pits military lawyer Sean Drummond against a shadow regime. Drummond puts his life in danger when he takes the case of U.S. Army General William Morrison, a Russian specialist accused of selling American secrets to the Russians. John Rubenstein carries the listener from Washington, DC, to Moscow with impeccable character changes and subtle accents. The pace is fast and the action dramatic; however, the end is given away far too soon. Appropriate musical breaks denote scene changes. This serious yet humorous tale will grip the listener to the end. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
