BLOOD BROTHERS

Because of its multiple scenarios, swings in mood, and unique characters, this legal thriller requires a narrator who can rapidly switch gears. Dan Cashman fits the bill. Though the main plot of the story is somewhat farfetched, the subplots hold listener interest. A New York Jewish lawyer returns to the South of his boyhood to defend a childhood friend and Klan member on a forty-year-old murder charge. Cashman is best in court when he's called upon to switch from defense counsel, to prosecutor, to witness, then judge--and back to defense lawyer again. As the trial kicks into overdrive--so does Cashman. A.L.H. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/ JUL 04]
