A HIGH OCTANE READING
Review date: 2002-11-08 Rating: 10 out of 10

Leave it to the inventive mind of best-selling author Michael Connelly to come up with a compelling can't-put-down high tech read woven around computing and on-line sex. Then, leave it to film and television actor Alfred Molina togive this title a suspenseful reading.

Following an acrimonious breakup with his girlfriend Henry Pierce has a new start, a new apartment, and a new telephone message waiting - but, it's not for him. The caller is looking for a prostitute by the name of Lilly, whose telephone number is listed on a sex for hire web site.

Henry is a technological whiz, a go-getter whose company is about to make a major breakthrough and he's working or "chasing the dime" to raise the needed funds.

He surmises that Lilly probably had his telephone number in the past, and he also guesses that she is now in deep trouble. Because of a past personal loss Henry feels compelled to search for and try to help the mysterious Lilly.

However, some doors should never be opened because he soon finds himself in a vicious world that he could not have imagined in his worst nightmare.

Listeners will never suspect the stunning climax of this high octane tale, but they certainly will enjoy guessing all the way.
