DEAD FAMOUS

This installment in O'Connell's Mallory series is situated in Chicago, where an FBI agent is discovered murdered in a psychiatrist's office. In the meantime, each member of a noteworthy jury in New York City is discovered murdered, one by one, after a bizarre disc jockey urges the public to seek them out because he disagrees with their verdict. Alyssa Bresnahan accompanies the listener on a thrilling psychological exploration of a serial killer's distorted mind and a brilliant but disfigured psychiatrist's determination to reveal confidential information connected to the crimes. At the same time, Mallory copes with a depressed ex-partner. Bresnahan delivers an exacting performance, making it possible for listeners to follow all the details of the turmoil. B.J.P.
