Bird's-Eye View - Unab
J. F. Freedman
Recorded Books, 2002 #96839 0-7887-9793-X
The novels of New York Times best-selling author J.F. Freedman combine gritty realism with gripping suspense. Bird’s-Eye View is a vivid thriller that will keep listeners enthralled from start to finish.
Ex-collegiate professor turned loner, Fritz Tullis dropped out of academia for all the right reasons. He now spends his time thinking, drinking, fishing and photographing birds from a sweltering, screen-windowed shack at the edge of a swamp in southern Maryland. One morning, spying on birds with his telephoto lens, Fritz spots a plane landing on an airstrip across the bay. When he witnesses a deadly gunfight erupt outside the plane, Fritz, against his better judgment, is compelled to investigate further.
Narrator Tom Stechschulte deftly navigates through Freedman’s winding story as the stakes get higher and higher and Fritz’s once quiet life is transformed into chaos. |
