Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Richard Allen has a rich, mellifluous voice, the kind that reassures you in slow, measured terms that everything is going to be all right. Unfortunately, it's the wrong kind of voice for a dark, fast-paced thriller. Magic City chronicles an array of inhumane behavior triggered by the hunt for a black and white photograph snapped 43 years ago. The latest adventure of Hall's heroic and resourceful beach bum, Thorne, is filled with violence, murder, broken romances, family betrayals and secrets that could change the history of Florida. It's the sort of material that demands a hard-edged if not hard-boiled delivery. Instead of matching the pace of the action, Allen slows things down to a crawl with a soft, unhurried rendition. When Hall writes: Permeating the house was the harsh acrid reek of a death chamber he clearly didn't mean for it to be read in a floating, unemotional singsong. There are audio books with narrators who are not quite the perfect fit for the material, but rarely does one find a mismatch this egregious.

From AudioFile

It was 1964 in Miami, a magical city where anything could happen. A brash young boxer named Cassius Clay defeated defending champion Sonny Liston in a bout that was deemed historic. A photographer who was shooting the crowd focused for a moment on an unlikely group: a mobster, a future mayor, and an anti-Castro leader--none of whom wanted to be seen together in print. The record of their coming together is a secret worth killing for, even four decades later. Richard Allen brings MAGIC CITY to life with his articulate, measured speech. He makes his words sound so compelling that listeners are pulled along in their wake. While MAGIC CITY is a gripping novel in itself, Allens delivery makes it a story listeners cant forget.
