Oz Blackstone, a private “enquiry agent,” usually works for businesses, insurance companies, and brokerage firms. When he arranges to meet stockbroker and embezzler Willie Kane, he’s horrified to find him dead, and his accomplice, Dawn Phillips, nowhere to be found. Blackstone meets Dawn’s sister, and the two, immediately attracted to each other, set out on the trail of Dawn and a Swiss bank account. Joe Dunlop provides an excellent mix of spot-on British and Scots voices. He gets everything else right, too--the suspense, humor, and romance. Seamlessly narrated, with great timing, this production will hook listeners from the first word. S.S.R. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
