SILENT NIGHT

On Christmas Eve in New York City, Catherine Dorman and her two sons are viewing the decorations when 7-year old Brian sees a woman lifting his mother’s wallet, which contains a St. Christopher medal tucked away as a gift for their seriously ill father. Brian takes off after the woman and is kidnapped by the woman’s brother, an escaped convict accused of murder. William Dufris takes the listener through every emotion that Christmas Eve and kidnapping entail. As Higgins weaves this short but intense mystery, Dufris unravels its themes and brings them all to a tear-jerking conclusion. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/ SEP 01]
