THE HUNTERS

If you’ve been hunting for a fast-paced thriller, pick up this third installment in Griffin’s Presidential Agent series. It starts seconds after The Hostage ends, but you needn’t have listened to the latter to fully enjoy this. Having thwarted a nuclear disaster and uncovered a figure in an international scandal involving Iraqi oil, presidential operative Charley Castillo now hunts for the culprits who committed two related murders. You must admire Dick Hill’s smooth, exciting performance as Castillo flits from country to country on his quest. Hill gracefully transitions from character to character, whether German, French, Russian, Spanish, or Hungarian. They all sound authentic when spoken by Hill. He is also a master of the frequent military diction that Griffin’s characters are known for. A.L.H. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/ MAY 07]
