DIVINE JUSTICE

In this well-crafted and perfectly executed thriller, Ron McLarty captures the soul of a patriot and the cold competence of a killer. He portrays "Oliver Stone," aka John Carr, the deadliest assassin to ever work for the U.S. Stone is on the run. Seeking anonymity in the tiny coal town of Divine, Virginia, he’s torn between trying to blend in and championing those who help him, risking everything to uncover the town’s dangerous and dirty secrets. McLarty’s perfect dramatizations of those aiding or threatening Stone make this a superior listen. Even the music between chapters, which foreshadows or punctuates the action, adds to the audio experience. A.C.P.
