ROUGH JUSTICE

Working for the UK Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA), Dan “Spider” Shepherd goes undercover to investigate a series of brutal killings and beatings carried out by a team of vigilante cops. As the multiple plotlines unfold, listeners are frequently challenged to consider their perceptions of right and wrong. Paul Thornley brings Shepherd and the rest of the broad cast of characters alive with a perfectly timed narration. He adds personality through accents ranging from Eastern Europe to London street slang. Thornley's skilled and confident characterization is showcased in the passages of fast-moving banter between the team of police officers. Thornley is clearly comfortable with Leather’s writing style and dry humor. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2011]
