BREACH OF TRUST

In this legal thriller, Defense Attorney Joseph Antonelli is enlisted by U.S. Vice President Thomas Browning to defend one of their Harvard Law School colleagues, Jimmy Haviland. Schriner narrates this story of ruthless politics in a methodical manner. He easily finds voices and accents for the various well-developed male characters and does a credible job characterizing the beautiful, intelligent German reporter Antonelli meets in Washington, D.C. Truly involved in the plot, Schriner amplifies the bizarre twists and turns and dramatizes the novel's bittersweet ending. Buffa deftly blends mystery and romance with political philosophy and social commentary. S.C.A. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 04/ JAN 05]
