NOTE: This audiobook is a Brilliance BookCassette. Every BookCassette is a recording that is both unabridged and affordable. To give you the complete book at an affordable price, Brilliance has used a unique recording method that uses both tracks on each side of the tape and therefore requires balance control on the tape player you use. Twice as much recording can be captured on the same tape. Most non-portable tape players have balance control. Your tape player's balance control allows each track to be isolated for listening.

When using players without balance control (I.E. portables & personal players), a BookCassette Adapter is needed. One end of this adapter plugs into the headphone jack on your player and the other end into your headset. Call Brilliance Corporation, 1-800-854-7859 for more information and/or to purchase the adapter at a small price.

David Lindsey is one of the modern masters of crime fiction. His 1983 novel, A Cold Mind, is often cited as one of the half dozen best suspense novels ever written; Mercy, published in 1990, completely redefined the psychological thriller and became a huge national bestseller; his most recent novel, Body of Truth, was critically acclaimed as one of those rare thrillers that is as morally complex and intelligent as it is suspenseful. Now, with An Absence of Light, he has again expanded the boundaries of crime fiction, leading us from the top-secret world of police department Intelligence Divisions into the frighteningly sophisticated and violent dark heart of international drug and arms dealers. All major urban police departments have Intelligence Divisions - investigative squads that are highly sensitive because they collect secrets about men and women who have not yet committed any crime. An Absence of Light opens with the discovery of the body of Arthur Tisler, an investigator in Houston's Intelligence Division, who is found in his parked car with a bullet in his head. Everyone from the homicide cops to the chief of police hopes it's suicide; if it is, the case can be quickly and quietly closed. If, on the other hand, Tisler's death is in any way related to his secret investigations, it could bring down the entire police department. Marcus Graver, who heads Houston's Intelligence Division, realizes he cannot adequately pursue Tisler's death "inside," so he gets help from Arnette, a freelancer who has spent most of her career in the Far East for the CIA. When Arnette's surveillance team leads her to Panos Kalatis - a former legendary deep-cover agent for the Mossad who is now one of the richest and most vicious criminals in the world - she realizes Graver is way out of his league. In fact, Arnette knows, if the enemy is Kalatis, the entire Houston Police Department is out of its league. In An Absence of Light David Lindsey takes us into the terrifying new world.
