THE FINDER

Barely escaping a murderous attack, Jin Li goes into hiding to avoid the perpetrators, as well as her brother, Chen, who is also a threat to her safety. But Chen bullies and blackmails her ex-boyfriend, Ray Grant, to find her. As Grant delves into the case, he experiences even more heat from other interested parties as he discovers how deeply Jin Li is involved in an international conspiracy. Jason Culp gives an appropriate voice to the tough Grant. While his accents border on caricature, they never quite become over-the-top. Culp is at his best with the narrative, which he delivers in a gentle, firm voice that navigates sentence and grammatical nuance with well-timed emphasis and moderate intensity.
