THE WATCHMAN

MI5 officers are being murdered in a hideous fashion, and the higher-ups think it is one of their own. Alex, a highly trained SAS officer, is assigned to MI5 to seek out and destroy the murderer, aided by beautiful but prickly Tracy Weaver. Gordon Griffin's gravelly voice and no-nonsense narration add to the tension and violence of the interagency rivalry. Griffin subtly shifts accents between Irish and British characters and ever so ably softens his representation of women. As the plot unwinds and Alex closes in on his target, Ryan twists the plot yet again, keeping Griffin and listeners on their toes. M.B.K. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 02]
