Monday, June 6 through Friday, June 24, 2005. Read by Jim Fleming.
It’s a thriller, all right, as former power broker Joel Backman is pardoned by the CIA so he can be a target and expose an intelligence ring. It’s also a pleasurable exploration of small town life in Italy, where Backman is taken to establish a new life for himself.
