List Written by Lee Child - Audio book performed by Dick Hill - Unabridged Fiction - 5 CASSETTES - 14 hours Publisher, Brilliance Audio (November 2004) On the publication of Lee Child's debut novel, the multiple award-winning Killing Floor, critics nationwide marked its success. His last book, Die Trying, inspired the Chicago Tribune to call him "a suspense writer to be reckoned with." In Tripwire, Reacher is settling into lazy Key West when his life is interrupted by a stranger who comes looking for him. When the stranger turns up beaten to death in the Old Town cemetery - fingertips removed - Reacher knows whomever the man was working for is not a friend. Reacher follows the trail to New York, where he confronts the people who dispatched the dead man: an elderly couple still mourning an all-American son lost in Vietnam; an alluring and intelligent woman from Reacher's own haunted past; and at the center of the web, an opponent more vicious than any he's ever faced. Lee Child confirms his early acclaim with this new tale, as swift and stylish as any suspense novel being written today. About the Performer Dick Hill has recorded everything from sci-fi fantasy to non-fiction, Michael Connelly's gritty cop tales to Faulkner's brilliant prose, and all stops in between. His taping of Kozol's Pulitzer prize winning Amazing Grace was deemed the industry's best non-fiction audio book of 1995, and remains one of Hill's favorites, along with Twain's Huckleberry Finn. In 1997 Hill received 3 nominations for best audiobook, a reflection of his character driven style, which he credits to a lifetime of observing and enjoying people. Hill has two grown children, and lives, loves, gardens, and cooks with his talented wife Susie Breck (another Brilliance voice talent) in a medium sized Mid-western town. |
