The Justice Department springs a "cop-gone-bad" from prison and, with the promise of a presidential pardon, sends him to infiltrate a militaristic white supremacist cult after two federal agents have been killed. The story is tightly written and suspenseful. Although Richard Ferrone reads the characters with only slight differentiation, each is clearly discernible. Ferrone is an empathetic reader; with only slight changes in his gravelly voice, he captures the world-weary ex-con, double-dealing government officials and the messianic cult leader.
