THE SAINT OF WOLVES AND BUTCHERS

In this is a fast-paced story, elderly Nazis have settled in a rural Kansas county, where they continue to commit race-based atrocities. This seemingly implausible plot is made credible through the imaginative verisimilitude instilled by its author and through the assured, matter-of-fact tone of January LaVoy's narration. Listeners can only conclude the danger is real and cheer on the Nazi hunter who comes to Kansas with his dog, Bear, to see that justice prevails. When the mixed-race daughter of the lead investigator is kidnaped, we can hear the tension in LaVoy's voice. She also brings to life a number of secondary characters--some likable, some less so--delivering this action-packed story with clarity and conviction.
