THE FIRST 48

Police operate on the theory that if a kidnapped victim isn't found within the first 48 hours, the chances of turning up alive are slim. Jane Redmon is a WASHINGTON POST reporter who is receiving damning information about a prominent United States senator. When she’s kidnapped, under the orders of the senator, her father, retired cop Tom Redmon, and his former partner, Mike Tubbs, begin a desperate search to find her within the 48-hour timeframe. Stephen Lang does an excellent job maintaining suspense. His narration adds greatly to the enjoyment of this thriller. J.L.C. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/ SEP 04]
