Mortal Fall

Narrator R.C. Bray seems to understand both the characters and the landscape in Carbo's second thriller set in Glacier National Park. After an experienced wolverine research biologist falls to his death near the Going to the Sun Road, park police investigator Monty Harris finds himself on the trail of a killer. Carbo focuses less on action and terror and more on human memory and motivation. Bray offers a tough-guy narration, punctuated by exceptionally realistic dialogue voices. His clipped, slightly nasal delivery is always easy to follow. Together, Carbo and Bray bring the contradictions of Montana's Flathead Valley to life and keep the listener guessing throughout.
