PLEASE NOTE: This book may have an alternate cover. The following description is provided as a guide only and may contain text that doesn't specifically relate to this item. ...CIA contract agent Lily Mansfield has been a ruthless, professional assassin for nearly 20 of her 37 years, but her work takes a personal turn after the young girl she rescued off the street as a baby, and the friends that were raising her, are killed. Lily turns renegade and avenges their deaths with a brilliantly executed murder, but she soon finds herself hunted by an evil family, embroiled in a plot that threatens the safety of the world, and chased by handsome CIA agent Lucas Swain, who has been charged with bringing Lily back by any means necessary. Though Howard's latest offering (after Cry No More) is far flung, the high energy story line translates well to audio thanks to the compelling performances of Hill and Bean. The duo deftly tackle the story's many intonations and foreign accents, and their skillful use of nuance lends some depth to Howard's larger-than-life characters. ... © . ......From AudioFile...Salvatori Nervi is assassinated by Lily Mansfield, rogue CIA assassin who has become a contract killer. Lily is hunted both by Nervi's sons, who seek revenge, and by Lucas Swain, a cocky CIA field operative sent to ‘terminate’ her. But Lily and Swain uncover a diabolical plot that refocuses their energies. Dick Hill and Joyce Bean breathe life into this tortuous plot, complete with betrayal, double-dealing informants, and searing sex. Hill's sonorous voice switches from French to Italian with ease; as the American Swain, he delivers a Southern drawl that expresses ample machismo. Bean's French accent is crisp and clear while her American accent, warm and universal, imbues Lily with compassion. Hill and Bean combine efforts to bring the listener into a world of intrigue and passion. M.B.K.
