THE LAST SPYMASTER

Spy hunter Elaine Cunningham is sent to snag spymaster Jay Tice, CIA turncoat. Tice, imprisoned for life in an "escape-proof" federal prison, has done the impossible. He's disappeared without a trace. Lynds presents a plot-driven story that blurs the line between heroes and villains. David Colacci's performance takes listeners on a supersonic international chase from Geneva to Maryland, from Berlin to Washington, from North Carolina to New York City. Colacci makes conspiracy more than a theory, keeping subplots as clear as Lynds allows, through arms deals, terrorist plots, top-secret techno-toys, strange bedfellows, and betrayals. Lynds writes a rip-snorting spy yarn, and Colacci delivers, with a conclusion bound to leave listeners reeling. S.J.H. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 06]
