SNAKEHEAD

"Snakehead" is a term for people who smuggle illegal Chinese immigrants all over the world. Medical Examiner Margaret Campbell is called in because one group of human cargo is contaminated with an unknown virus that could cause a pandemic. Simon Vance’s narration is considered but not labored, and his natural delivery sounds as if he's relating his own experiences. Margaret's former lover and Beijing detective Li Yan also becomes involved in preventing the unleashing of the virus. Accents are clearly and professionally presented by Vance as the suspense and tension build, and the surprising identity of who is behind the virus is discovered.
