The good guys in a new African nation are missing a treasury full of diamonds; the nation's corrupt leader has stashed the rocks somewhere in New York City. Now the good guys need a specialist to get their diamonds back, so they come to the best in the business: Parker. Only the three mysterious tough guys came to Parker, too. They figured three hands filled with .38s could convince him to pass up this international gem game. But leaning on Parker was like pressuring a box of TNT with a short fuse.

A new African nation's corrupt leader has stashed a treasury of diamonds somewhere in New York City. The nation's good guys hire Parker to help them recover the rocks. Three mysterious tough guys and one second-rate con man muddy the waters as they each try to steal the diamonds. Narrator Stephen Thorne presents this caper with a storyteller's skill and style. His accents are pleasant and believable, and his laid-back but distinctive style is right for the story. Overall, Thorne's tone, cadence, and expression fully engage listeners. THE BLACK ICE SCORE is comfort food for the ears. T.J.M. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
