UNDER THE COLOR OF LAW

When an estranged ambassador's wife and then a priest are murdered and the FBI is all over the crime scene, Kevin Kerney, Chief of Santa Fe Police, becomes suspicious. As evidence either disappears or is covered up, the FBI warns him off, but Kerney becomes embroiled in untangling a covert operation. David Purdham performs this mystery, which focuses on the politics of law enforcement and the manipulation of facts. Purdham's fascination with the details carries the listener along scene by scene, as he juggles all the characters and their Southwestern attitudes as the cover-up is created and unraveled. The suspense and suspicion never let up until this convoluted investigation is wrapped up tight. M.B.K. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 02]
