Newspaper reporter Jill Francis and detective Richard Thornhill reunite to solve a complex mystery complete with multiple suspects and subplots. Right-wing journalist Cameron Rowse is murdered as he covers the story of squatters moving into an old military camp. Narrator Julia Franklin presents the diverse characters with understanding and compassion. Franklin also excels in portraying different lifestyles and splendidly presents a dramatic reading of a news story in which she accurately covers all political viewpoints. Taylor's novels are ideal for those who like unique stories and characters. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
