STARING AT THE LIGHT

Fyfield, a London criminal lawyer, has added another novel drenched with psychological suspense to her repertoire. Cannon Smith, streetwise and in trouble with the law, is being stalked by his twin brother, Johnny, wealthy and apparently law-abiding. Cannon’s lawyer, kind Sarah Fortune, protects her client in court and from his brother. Parker is enthralling as he simultaneously portrays Sarah’s growing doubts about Johnny’s alleged corruption and malicious jealousy. All of Parker’s good and bad characters are equally convincing. He keeps the listener tense until the teeth-gritting denouement. R.N. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/SEP 00]
