DAMNED IN PARADISE

Shamus Award-winning author Max Allan Collins transports listeners to the tourist world of Hawaii in the 1930s. Narrator Jeff Woodman's voice adds a boyish charm to the main character, Nate Heller. Nate is working with the famous Clarence Darrow to search out the truth in a legal mess. Besides enhancing Nate, Woodman presents all the characters, from the famous Darrow to Thalia Massie, the rape victim, and the polyglot of local characters, with warmth and wit. The even pacing adds to the drama and suspense in this work of historical fiction. The twists and turns of this story make it even more fascinating. S.C.A.
