ONE IN THE CHAMBER

In a patrician-sounding voice, narrator Zion Jang portrays a group of Washington, DC, interns. The senators they serve, known as the "Gang of Six," are considered the wheeler-dealers of the Senate. One of them is about to die. Listeners will enjoy Jang's performance as he creates a personality for each of the interns by changing tone and rhythm. Especially notable is Cameron Leann, a farm boy from Iowa, who is the outlier in this otherwise close-knit group. Jang presents the senators with well-done Southern drawls and the raspy voices of smokers. The atmosphere is filled with intimidation, envy, and revenge. While the interns' dialogue with authorities about the murder is included in earlier chapters, who did it and why isn't revealed until the last.
