Taking the Fifth

J.P. Beaumont is a tough Seattle cop with traditional values. In the course of investigating two murders, he is introduced to the worlds of show business, drugs and alternate life-styles. He is uncomfortable, but he perseveres and solves the murders. Well-read by Gene Engene, individual characters are well-differentiated but not overdone. The voice of J.P. Beaumont is especially appropriate--he sounds like a tough, opinionated cop with a soft heart. This is a quality production which makes the listener eager for more titles in the series. J.D.P.
