KILLING FLOOR

Jack Reacher wanders into Margrave, Georgia, and is arrested for murder. A former military policeman, now a transient, Jack has a solid alibi and plans to leave upon his release from jail--but then the case becomes personal. This violent and complex thriller is capably narrated by audio veteran Dick Hill, who aptly voices the characters and emotions. His characterization helps the listener empathize with Jack, who is at the same time deeply moral in his concern for the victims caught up in this horror and amoral as he dispatches the crooks and killers who perpetrate it. Hill's narration keeps the listener on the edge through the (literally) explosive conclusion. M.A.M. (c) AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC/ JAN 02]
