Reflex enthralls.

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's Weekly

English actor Britton's rich, chameleonlike voice immediately immerses the listener in the intricate plotting and well-drawn characters that typify the work of Francis. Britton (The Day of the Jackal, etc.) expertly tells the story of narrator Philip Nore, an aging jockey who uncovers widespread corruption among his associates after delving into the allegedly accidental death of a sports photographer who "trafficked in ignominy and humiliation." Excellent sound quality and Britton's impressive vocal range echo the intense emotional turmoil Nore experiences as he moves closer to discovering a killer, putting his own life at risk and confronting the truth of his troubled conscience and Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.|
