Synopsis
When the headstrong daughter of a U.S. senator disappears in a war ravaged country torn between east and west, only a disillusioned American officer possesses the connections and expertise to track her down--while a startling range of enemies don't want the girl to survive. Up against Islamic extremists, unscrupulous oil executives, rogue Russians, and treacherous European "allies," Lieutenant Colonel Evan Burton undertakes a last, deadly mission--faced with a coup in the streets, opium smugglers in mountain fortresses, and even elements within the U.S. government determined to stop him. A Casablanca for the post-Cold War world, The Devil's Garden is a beautifully written, can't-put-it-down thriller grounded in the gritty reality of current events.

From AudioFile
Peters's creation offers multinational politics, greed, cruelty, and manipulation as the former Soviet republics strive to test their wings. Young American idealist Kelly Trost, daughter of a U.S. senator, volunteers in this treacherous region until she's kidnapped. Few have the resources to help before it's too late. Narrator Edward Lewis does a splendid job with the HUGE variety of accents. He successfully blends the brash with unexpected appearances of sensitivity. As the badly injured Kelly seeks help, the listener overhears sounds of excruciating pain and internal pep talks that keep her fighting for survival. Good "escapist" reading gives us the chance to glimpse far-away places. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
