Product Description

Product Description

Robert Crais' massive new thriller takes a break from Elvis Cole and introduces a new heroine; bomb victim and tenacious detective Carol Starkey. It is a novel of personal obsession, rivalry, corruption and breath-taking violence. John Michael Fowles has a natural talent: he understands explosives. He has a feel for them. It is a talent which he fully expects will take him onto the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list. Along the way he will match himself against the best - the FBI's elite team of bomb technicians and one person in particular - Carol Starkey, Detective in the LAPD Criminal Conspiracy Section. She is a woman who died for two minutes and forty seconds after being blown up by one of his bombs, and Fowles dearly wants her dead again. As the FBI attempt to find the link behind a series of bomb explosions that have been designed to kill their technicians, Special Agent Ben Williams stumbles on the bomber's secret: his desire to kill Starkey. If Williams can keep this from Starkey he can set a trap and catch the bomber. A trap that uses Carol Starkey as bait.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb narrative performance, 20 Aug 2001
By P. F. Mcwilliams (County Durham UK.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had never heard of Robert Crais until I listened to the Demolition Angel cassettes. This isn't as barmy as it sounds because I regard an audiobook primarily as a performance, and the performer in this case is the sublime Lorelei King. I was familiar with her work via her readings of the Janet Evanovich "Stephanie Plum" novels.If she read a laundry list I would probably sit back and take notice.As it turned out this is a cracking story, not the usual Homicide,Vice,Private eye,car chase,shootout stuff beloved of many american authors. The storyline concerns the bomber with a grudge against bomb technicians, and a traumatised bomb squad operative Carol Starkey. The storyline is instantly engrosing, with lots of forensic detail about bombs and their construction(hopefully misleading!) and their appalling consequences for the victims.As Starkey herself was injured in the blast which killed her lover you have the psychological core to this unusual and engrossing narrative.This is particularly chilling stuff to listen to,but such detail adds a certain frison to an already fascinating thriller and the plot grips you from the start, I could not stop listening, this is all driven along by Ms Kings superb evocation of the many characters that inhabit this tale. For those who appreciate the true indulgance of being read-to this is a perfect blend of Author and Performer that should not be missed.
