THE BLACK DOVE

If you have yet to enjoy one of Hockensmith's Holmes on the Range novels, run, don't walk, to your nearest audio outlet and let the good times roll. Our two crime-fighting brothers, called Big Red and Old Red, due to the color of their hair, catch the bug after being given a copy of the Sherlock Holmes classic "The Redheaded League." This episode finds them in San Francisco's Chinatown in 1893. Much has been said about the great abilities of narrator William Dufris, and concerning this production it must be said that he approaches the material with gung-ho rollicking, side-slapping intensity. He just flat out seems to be having a fabulous time. D.G.
