THE INNOCENCE GAME

Narrators Robbie Harvey and Robertson Dean keep up the suspense in the author's latest Chicago thriller. On the trail of corruption amid the city's finest, three graduate students in journalism burrow through archives searching to prove the innocence of a convicted, and dead, murder suspect, who may have been murdered himself. More violence emerges as the trio pursue answers across a well-drawn setting that moves from Evanston to southern Michigan. As the two male students, Ian and Jake, compete for the affection of their classmate, Sara, characterizations are well voiced. When P.I. Michael Kelly, voiced by Harvey, makes a late, almost gratuitous, appearance, he is too soft-voiced but still saves the day. D.P.D. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2013]
