THE COLOR OF LAW

This thriller includes a good mystery and a tongue-in-cheek look at the legal profession. The son of a Texas millionaire senator and presidential candidate is murdered, apparently by Shawanda Jones, a hooker. A. Scott Fenney, a handsome, arrogant corporate lawyer, is appointed by a powerful federal judge to represent her. Whether portraying poor blacks or hotshot attorneys and social- climbing Dallas society wives, Hoye clearly portrays the characters and situations. He memorably masters little girl voices for Shawanda's and A. Scott's precocious daughters. Using outstanding vocal flexibility, he invests his narration with a sense of foreboding as A. Scott's world slowly disintegrates. S.C.A. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 07]
