Broken

Narrators Kaleo Griffith and Ray Porter perfectly match the noir tone and rhythms of low-life characters who come into the world the same but leave broken. They're hardened men and women who navigate various criminal worlds--usually unsuccessfully. In these six novellas, jewel thieves tell themselves all they need is one more score. Relentless cops chase high-end thieves who are portrayed by Porter with an audible sneer and a stifled laugh. Griffith uses a lighter tone and a more authoritarian delivery, creating sympathy for the lost, broken souls. Winslow continues to prove himself a worthy successor to masters of crime fiction like Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, and Elmore Leonard. R.O. � AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
