Synopsis

Years ago, Lou Boldt's wife Liz had an affair with David Hayes, a young computer specialist at the bank where she is an executive. When Liz ended the relationship after reconciling with Lou, Hayes took part in a daring embezzlement scheme. Now, years later, Hayes is trying to retrieve the money he hid for the Russian mob, and contacts Liz to try and gain access to the bank's mainframe. Liz is torn between wanting to protect the bank and needing to protect her children, who are being threatened. Boldt, ripped apart by the discovery of his wife's possible blackmail, must skate a delicate line between determined detective and jealous husband, if he is to find the money while exposing and stopping Hayes.

From AudioFile

"To catch a thief," the saying goes, "you must think like a thief." The ninth in the series featuring Seattle Police Lieutenant Lou Boldt demonstrates that notion and piles on a layer of thick, emotional pain, elevating what could have been a simple story into a catharsis for both the characters and the listener. Dick Hill maneuvers the facts of the takedown with aplomb but truly shines when expressing the emotional struggles of Lou and Elizabeth Boldt. Pearson continues to lead the way with a story that's a cut above the average thriller. R.O. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
