MASK MARKET

Renegade Private Investigator Burke finally gets a customer; then, shortly after he leaves, the man is killed. Despite no possibility of financial gain, Burke has a personal interest in finding the man's missing wife and solving his murder. Matching wits against another of New York City's seedier inhabitants, Burke must use all his resources to figure out who's behind the murder. David Joe Wirth's voice is not quite edgy enough for the story's tone and setting, but, at the same time, if his voice were any more tense, it would feel artificial. Instead, he invokes a quiet, solemn tone that can, at times, make Burke feel more akin to Buddha than to Dirty Harry. L.E. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 07]
