STORMING HEAVEN

Michael Kramer's voice suits FBI agent Mark Beamon. Beamon is excellent with evidence, poor with people. Kramer convincingly juxtaposes Beamon's professional acuity and self-assurance with his personal bunglings and insecurities. As Beamon investigates the disappearance of a teenaged girl and the shooting deaths of her parents, he burrows deep into the inner sanctum of a Southwestern religious cult. Kramer characterizes each character with slight modulation. As religious fervor mounts and Kramer unwinds the complicated plot twists, the listener is fascinated by cult mentality.
