Overview

It is the summer of 1946, organized crime's garish golden age, when American justice seems to have gone to seed for good. Nowhere is this more true than in Hot Springs, Arkansas, the reigning capital of corruption. When the district attorney vows to bring down the mob, Earl Swagger -- a decorated ex-Marine -- is recruited to run the show. As casino raids erupt into nerve-shattering combat amid screaming prostitutes and fleeing johns, the body count mounts -- along with the suspense.

A top flight Stephen Hunter book read by Jay O. Sanders. That's about as good as it gets. For fans of Hunter's work (which runs OK-to-great) this is one of the VERY good ones. Sanders is a fantastic reader. More of a performer, actually. Does Hunter great justice with his performance. If you've enjoyed Hunter before, you'll love this one. If you haven't, it's a great place to start. And either way, make sure, before you die, that you read DIRTY WHITE BOYS. Can't find an audio version, but read it anyway. For audio, try PALE HORSE COMING.
