HEAD SHOT

How often in murder mysteries do we see what seems like an act of random violence unravel into a huge conspiracy covering decades of turbulent history? In this case, what could have been run-of-the-mill speculation about the “crime of the century” engages the listener with true emotions. Edinburgh' s Assistant Chief Constable Bob Skinner comes to America to investigate the murder of his wife's parents, unraveling a web of deceit and violence. James Bryce's crystal clear rendition borders on spectacular as the twists and turns mount. If you're ever in trouble, you might want someone like Skinner on your side.
