CRY DANCE

This mystery about the criminal control of tribal gambling casinos is illuminated by intriguing lore of the Southwestern tribes. Stefan Rudnicki's vocal interpretations add intensity and gravitas to the complex plot involving double-dealing Native Americans, Jamaicans, and Vegas hit men. He also creates an engaging baritone voice for Emmett Quanah Parker, the BIA's part-white, part-Comanche investigator, and a light but serious one for rookie FBI agent Anna Turnipseed, who is assigned to work with him. Rudnicki does such a good job with voices, creating complete dramatic characterizations, that listeners may forget that the story has a single narrator. S.C.A.
