Synopsis

When Evan Delaney finds her father’s car at the bottom of a ravine, the police suspect suicide—but there’s no body. Evan’s suspicions of something sinister are confirmed when she receives a call from her father’s kidnappers. The ransom isn’t money, but more of a puzzle—one that Evan has only 72 hours to piece together, as she follows a madman’s trail into the very heart of darkness.

About this title

About the Author:

From AudioFile:

Gardiner's thriller finds Evan Delaney trying to rescue her father from kidnappers. The story surprises listeners with its plausible yet unexpected turns of plot, and narrator Tanya Sirois's dramatic skills are a good match. With ease and style, she renders Evan, boyfriend Jesse, villains Shiver and Bliss, and their boss, Madam Rio Sanger, who caters to men with very twisted desires. The male voices are warm and charming, not strained, and the female characters are portrayed with emotion and strength. Sirois's pacing is exact and dramatic; she slows down the often heart-pounding plot at times to emphasize important points. Listeners will enjoy both the story and the performance.
