30 SECONDS

Arrow Pharmaceuticals has hired Marty English's firm to design a 30-second ad for the Super Bowl, promoting the benefits of rain forest herbals. But when Marty's father (head of the Chicago Mafia) is murdered, Marty begins uncovering the deadly truth about his new client. Joe Mantegna's sonorous voice lulls the listener into accepting that all is well with Marty and Co. But when the action heats up, so does Mantegna, keeping the listener alert with the tension and the intrigue. M.B.K. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 02]
