QUIVER

Peter Leonard's debut novel is a rich palette of everything dark and ominous that exists in crime fiction. Jack is an ex-con who's got a serious problem. Now that he's out of jail, his former partners in crime want their share of the heist money. The trouble is--he lost it. Leonard's well-crafted prose is perfectly realized by narrator Scott Sowers, whose voice seems designed for this chilling story. Sowers reads with passion and a thorough understanding of this crime caper, relating the story in a natural yet understated performance. Leonard's characters are real and believable, and Sowers never fails to bring them to life with a flair for honesty in his delivery. This memorable listening experience just might have listeners coming back to the story again and again, each time experiencing it on a new level. L.B.
