It's 1985 in Southern California, and the ghosts of postwar glamour, glitz, and greed still linger in swanky Laguna Beach. In the face of a series of grisly murders, Laguna Homicide cop Tom Shephard finds he must unravel a mystery that reaches back over 40 years—into his own past. Christopher Lane's clear, confident delivery provides easy listening as he creates the ambiance of a time when pay phones and cigarettes were part of life. Lane’s crisp vocal impressions for the variety of people affected by the murders draw listeners deeper into the complex plot. Parker’s debut novel comes roaring into the twenty-first century in audio format. With Lane as narrator, it was worth the wait. T.J.M. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
