THE PATRIOT THREAT Cotton Malone, Book 10

Scott Brick is an outstanding narrator, and those who enjoy mysteries that include American history will especially enjoy this audiobook. Cotton Malone, the hero of this series, is a retired agent for the Justice Department who returns to investigate whether the 16th Amendment, which authorizes the federal income tax, was properly ratified. A tax evader and the son of a late Korean dictator are also involved. Brick portrays Malone with finesse and obvious pleasure as he travels from Washington to the canals of Venice and the highlands of Croatia. Maintaining strong projection and appropriate emphasis as suspense mounts, Brick deftly captures the adventurous hero and the author's enthusiasm for history.
