COLLUSION

Detective Inspector Jack Lennon leads a cast of characters as he tries to track down his old flame and their daughter, who have been spirited away to keep them safe from a paid assassin who is on a mission to clean up after a murder. Gerard Doyle sounds like he’s delivering the narrative straight from the streets of Belfast. While the heavy use of dialect is overwhelming at first, Doyle’s mastery of timing and nuance brings listeners right into the story. Doyle’s performance of Lennon’s grit and vulnerabilities gives credibility to both, and his portrayals of the brutal villains are downright terrifying.
