John Baker's characters are his strongest point. However, his plot is every bit as well developed. P.I. Sam Turner has a full docket as he seeks a sadistic murderer and confronts the drug and gym trade in his beloved York. His delightful sidekick, Geordie, is his sweet self as they take on crooks who have connections in the very highest places. Cornelius Garrett does well with a wide range of accents, ages, and personalities; his best efforts are Sam and Geordie, who couldn't be more different but are further enhanced by Garrett's efforts. Although violent and graphic, the story is a believable portrait of modern life and crime. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
