THE STARLING PROJECT An Audible Drama

An international gunrunning, money-laundering, and kidnapping criminal mastermind is on the loose, and only war-crimes investigator Harold Middleton can track him down. With his smooth vocal presence, Alfred Molina embodies Middleton’s confidence and continental charm as he leads an outstanding ensemble of 30 actors playing 80 speaking roles in this high-velocity thriller. With its hypnotic musical score and sound effects of gunshots, squealing tires, and all-too-close explosions, listeners may believe they’re listening to a movie soundtrack. And basically, they are—it’s just that the pictures might be even better because they’re being furnished by their own own imaginations. Slip on a pair of headphones to fully appreciate every detail in this carnival ride for the ears. B.P.
