About this title

About the Author:

After beginning his writing career in 1983 with the publication of two mystery novels in the same year, David Lindsey's tenth suspense novel, The Color of Night, was published by Warner books in April 1999. In the early years of Lindsey's writing career he published five psychological mystery novels featuring Houston homicide detective Stuart Haydon. In 1990 Lindsey began featuring protagonists other than Haydon, including a Latina homicide detective named Carmen Palma in the critically acclaimed Mercy, and Irina Ismaylova (a Russian assassin) and Cate Cuevas (an FBI undercover agent) in 1996's Requiem for a Glass Heart. As Lindsey's popularity has grown so has his international reputation. His books are now translated into 17 languages and in 1992 Body of Truth, set in Houston and Guatemala, won Germany's Bochumer Krimi Archiv award for the best suspense novel of the year. Lindsey's novels have also attracted the attention of Hollywood. Mercy completed filming in late 1998 and will be released as a feature film in 1999, and the several of the Stuart Haydon novels are currently in option negotiation. Lindsey grew up in the ranch country and oil fields of west Texas, studied English literature in university, and was an editor for many years with small publishers in Texas. He lives in Austin with his wife.

From AudioFile:

Titus Cain has been targeted by a Latino thug in a sophisticated extortion scheme that results in the horrific deaths of friends close to Titus. Cain enlists the help of former CIA agents in an effort to thwart the villains. Christopher Price successfully conveys the brutality of the criminals with voices that are frighteningly realistic. His accents, Spanish and others, are excellent, and his characterizations of Cain, his wife, and others are totally convincing. The tension is palpable in Price's taut and dramatic reading, and the excitement is heightened by excellent timing. S.S.R. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
