Acerca de esta escucha
Gus Marchand, a hardworking, God-fearing farmer, is found dead on his kitchen floor, and suspicion soon falls on Alex Feldman, Marchand's hideously deformed neighbor. At the request of another attorney, Barbara agrees to defend the young man, whom most of the town has already condemned.
But there is another suspect, as well: Hilde Franz, a woman Gus had a very public altercation with just before he was murdered. Hilde also happens to be an old friend of Barbara's father, Frank, who, unaware of his daughter's involvement in the case, agrees to represent Hilde.
For the first time in her career, Barbara cannot turn to her father for advice. Quite the contrary: she has to stay one step ahead of him if she's to have any hope of saving her client. Because she knows only too well what kind of legal mind she's up against.

Frankie Elkin is an average middle-aged woman, a recovering alcoholic with more regrets than belongings. But she spends her life doing what no one else will - searching for missing people the world has stopped looking for. When the police have given up, when the public no longer remembers, when the media has never paid attention, Frankie starts looking. A new case brings her to Mattapan, a Boston neighborhood with a rough reputation. She is searching for Angelique Badeau, a Haitian teenager who vanished from her high school months earlier.

He slips into their homes at night and walks silently into bedrooms where women lie sleeping, unaware of the horrors they soon will endure. The precision of the killer's methods suggests he is a deranged man of medicine, propelling the Boston newspapers and the frightened public to name him "The Surgeon". The cops' only clue rests with another surgeon, the victim of a nearly identical crime. Two years ago, Dr. Catherine Cordell fought back and killed her attacker before he could complete his assault.

For most of the last hundred years, Biloxi was known for its beaches, resorts, and seafood industry. But it had a darker side. It was also notorious for corruption and vice, everything from gambling, prostitution, bootleg liquor, and drugs to contract killings. The vice was controlled by small cabal of mobsters, many of them rumored to be members of the Dixie Mafia.

It's 1949. When war veteran Aloysius Archer is released from Carderock Prison, he is sent to Poca City on parole with a short list of dos and a much longer list of don'ts: do report regularly to his parole officer, don't go to bars, certainly don't drink alcohol, do get a job - and don't ever associate with loose women. The small town quickly proves more complicated and dangerous than Archer's years serving in the war or his time in jail.

This book causes sleep deprivation!
I had never listened to a Kate Wilhelm book, so I started this book last Friday (when I should have been doing work), planning to just listen while I made breakfast. Well...I ended up listening to it all day and night until I finished it, even though that meant 3 a.m.! I just relistened to the second half again today, and I just really enjoyed it. She does a great job with character development, etc., but as a law student, I especially loved hearing her trial descriptions. In fact, her cross examinations were so good that I felt like I could justify listening to this instead of studying!

Absolutely terrific
This was a wonderful story! I had never read this author before and am thrilled to find she has written several books --- all of which I intend to read as fast as membership allows! This is a fast-paced story but still offers good character development. Don't miss this one.

A good listen
Excellent story, saw some things coming but they didn't take away from the overall quality of the storytelling. I wish I could afford DSL so I could understand the narrator better, but at AM quality it's pretty poor and at MP3 quality would take me 4 DAYS to download. Still the narrator does a good job switching between characters.

Want to know what happened to Alex
great writer, good narrator, worth the credit. Lots of twists and turns. Hope the author brought back her assistant so I know what happened with her and Alex. Besides being good fiction it also taught a lesson everyone should learn..just because we are different on the outside we are still human inside.
