Avis de l'équipe
A blizzard. A kidnapping. A debt that dates back to the Nazi regime. C. J. Box, author of the successful novel Open Season, presents this short mystery. A master of place, Box uses Wyoming to full advantage in this gripping depiction of good and evil. Performer Joe Barrett's husky, almost whispered voice matches the work's unsettling tone while his dramatic pacing keeps listeners on the edge of their seats. Mystery lovers will be swept away by Box and Barrett's cold backcountry story with surprises all along the way.
Description
Short tales about deadly books, by top mystery authors.
In frigid Wyoming lies a mystery that stretches back to Nazi Germany. Lyle and Juan wait outside the lawyer's house in ski masks, pistols hidden behind their backs. Shortly after dawn, Paul Parker, an aged lawyer, and his old dog step into the cold. The thugs kill the dog, and take the lawyer hostage. Parker's day has started badly and is going to get much worse. Once a fine lawyer, Parker's enthusiasm has slipped with age, and criminals like Lyle are part of the reason for his disillusionment. Years after they last saw each other in court, Lyle is convinced that Parker owes him something. At gunpoint, Lyle and Juan make Parker lead them to the old Angler ranch, to open up a hidden library whose volumes hold the secret to forgotten riches, and the strangest war profiteering scheme to ever come out of the Great Plains.
