Review
The odd couple at the heart of this extremely impressive first thriller--a psychotic genius and a sensitive, scarred psychiatric nurse--have already led to the inevitable comparisons to The Silence of the Lambs. But Bill Kaiser is no Hannibal Lector: he uses his formidable physical and mental skills for a good cause, the preservation of historic buildings. And Sharon Blautner doesn't go up against Kaiser to further her career, like FBI agent Clarice Starling: she's already lost her job because of an act of kindness toward Bill, and seems to genuinely care for him. What's also amazing is how much author Matthew Hall knows and communicates about everything from how to fake mental illness to the way painters create their works.
From AudioFile
This modern-day terrorist thriller revolves around: Bill Kaiser, schizophrenic and computer whiz who is out to save historic buildings in NYC; Sharon Blautner, a nurse who examines Bill when he's institutionalized and is attracted to him; and Sharon's uncle, who is buying up NYC historic buildings to construct private prisons. Orbach's reading is smooth and concise, building with the story's tension. He sorts out the story lines, keeps the characters straight and brings Bill's crazy schemes to their terrifying conclusions. Well-placed music brings the fast-paced, bone-chilling action to the fore. M.B.K. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
