THE DAY TRADER

Augustus McKnight, novice day trader, first dabbles, then scores in the market. Just as things are going well, his wife decides she wants a divorce, then is found murdered, and the story is off and running. Grover Gardner portrays McKnight as a logical thinker, and the other characters as they seem to be: ambitious, greedy, persistent, and angry. Gardner switches from soft Southern accents to the level-headed McKnight without a hitch while holding the listener in thrall. M.B.K. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/SEP 02]
