It’s 1942, and Michael O’Sullivan, the boy who saw his father murdered in Road to Perdition, is in his early twenties. Now Michael Satariano, the adopted son of Sicilian restaurateurs, he returns from the Philippines a war hero, the first ever Congressional Medal of Honor winner. But Michael’s past is filled with deadly secrets, including the fact that at age 12 he killed his father’s killer. When Eliot Ness approaches him, Michael sees his chance to wreak further vengeance, this time upon Al Capone and Frank Nitti, the men he believes ordered his father’s murder. Stanley Tucci’s performance ripples with quiet menace. His narration is as powerful and understated as Michael himself--never self-promoting, never intrusive. Max Allan Collins scores again with the second installment in the O’Sullivan family saga, and Stanley Tucci’s treatment of this fascinating period piece is guaranteed to keep the listener enthralled.

Escape on a thrilling adventure with Soneela Nankani and Andrew Eiden as they narrate this suspenseful romance. A year has passed since Simi Chopra, her assorted crew, and Jack Danger pulled off a lucrative diamond heist. Now, the Chicago Mafia boss is demanding that the jewels be returned, so Simi gets the team back together. Nankani delivers an expressive performance that emphasizes Simi's conflict between her passion for Jack and the mission. Her distinct character voices keep the listener fully immersed. Eiden's lively tone gives Jack a subtle flair and confidence that make him easy to forgive and to love.

This is not a story about guns, but about blue pearls. Gerald Browne takes us to the Pacific Ocean and the world of pearl divers and natural gems and mixes in mystery, intrigue and suspense. Barry Bostwick portrays the characters in one voice, varying his intonation slightly for the Asian personalities. His reading style is very smooth, evidence of preparation and interest in the story. 18mm Blues is abridged well, collecting the important elements of the story. Unobtrusive music indicates the end of each side. Disappear into the mystery of the Far East and one of its most beautiful commodities.
