May, 2008 Audio Books

Cold Hit - Stephen J Cannell - Another Shane Scully book, once again I really enjoyed listening to this book. The characters were more likeable in the audio books in my opinion.

Cannell tackles the dilemma faced by police when they tangle with Homeland Security. Detective Shane Scully butts up against Robert Allen Virtue, the regional director of DHS, in the investigation of a serial killer who removes his victims' fingertips. When the fourth murder doesn't fit the pattern of the series, Scully runs smack into Homeland Security AND the FBI. Scott Brick performs this police procedural with his usual precision, while driving the details to the fore. Brick's portrays the federal agents as stony and hard-nosed and the local police as driven to find the truth behind the lies and obfuscation of the Feds' secrecy.
