SUDDEN DEATH

"Revenge is an act of passion; vengeance, of justice." So begins the first in Allison Brennan's proposed Sacramento FBI trilogy. Former Delta Force veterans are being tortured and murdered. These are not random killings, and Special Agent Megan Elliot and ex-Army Ranger Jack Kincaid join forces to identify the serial killers. Narrator Ann Marie Lee is especially chilling when the story focuses on the deadly duo, Ethan and Karin, taking listeners into the twisted world of murderous psychopaths. As they pick off their victims, Lee offers a controlled reading that provides well-drawn, intriguing characters. Violence, graphic torture, and vicious sexuality propel the story to its breakneck conclusion. S.J.H. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2009]
