SHOOT HIM IF HE RUNS

Stone Barrington and his colleagues are dispatched to the Caribbean island of St. Marks to hunt down a rogue CIA agent, who has turned into an assassin. Their task is simply to locate and report his whereabouts. However, once they begin their mission, their orders take a terrible turn. SHOOT HIM IF HE RUNS, their CIA handlers command. Tony Roberts's narration is clear and crisp. He differentiates the characters comfortably, although his representation of NYPD Detective Dino is a tad irritating. Roberts, an accomplished reader, blunders, as many people do, with his pronunciation of "Spokane" (Washington) during the opening chapter. However, for those who enjoy thrillers, this is still an entertaining production. T.J.M. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 08]
