Fascinating! I remember some of this but this account tells it all. The time involved and the excruciating steps to get anything changed in politics is frustrating! That takes conviction. What a friend!!

The experiences of war time is explicit. The inside view following this soldier realizes the hardness and cruelty men can inflict on each other under someone else’s direction. War is cruel.

Loved the theme. Scary, exciting and suspenseful. The characters drive me crazy at times with all the disbelief and lack of communication. Great!! Had to see what they would get into next!! Good!!!

This author-narrator combination is a winner. The story is entrancing. The narration delivery is spot on with the characters and intense at times to magnify the significance of what is happening. Very well done!

Story
Dave Robicheaux felt the bone-grinding pain rip through his body as the .45 did its damage. Through the agonizing haze that enveloped him, he heard an almost inhuman laugh - the hideous, victorious cackling of Jimmie Lee Boggs - a sound he would never forget. It had started out as an ordinary prisoner transfer, then turned into a blood bath when the convicted murderer got hold of a gun.

Story
Adam Turner works the mid-dawn shift at his local radio station. From 12am to 6am, it’s his job to fill the airtime with old songs, inane chatter, and the occasional talkback caller. It’s a long way from his prime-time slot from over a decade ago, when he was a star in the making. Now there’s no producers, no billboards, no stakes, and not many listeners. His frequent callers are drunk students headed home from a night out, or long-range truck drivers. He is completely alone in the studio from midnight until dawn every night. And then one night at 12:45am, he gets a different kind of call.
