THE MAN IN THE BOTTLE

When Chief Detective Inspector Thane and D.I. Moss are called in to investigate an apparent accident, they expect a routine case. A salmon poacher seems to have blown himself up while illegally dynamiting. However, as the investigation progresses, the police realize that the crime relates to a visiting Russian politician. James Bryce does justice to the wide range of melodious Scottish accents as Thane and Moss scour the remote countryside, trying to make sense of the bizarre murder. Together Knox and Bryce present a nostalgic look at Russian relations during the Cold War. An excellent choice for buffs of that era. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/ JUL 04]
