It tells the timely and timeless story of a self-destructive artist and the tragic consequences he incurs when he sins against his talent. Come, gather round, and listen.

Rejected in love, the incredibly rich (but appropriately modest) George Bellew walks into a small English village populated with a cast of most interesting people, from the ramrod straight old Sergeant who can’t seem to get beyond talking of peaches with the apple of his eye, to the smarmy Mr. Cassilis who seems to think that the beautiful Anthea (and her farm at Dapplemere) can be had for the asking – if only he asks often enough. And then there is Anthea — a lovely woman, caring for those around her – though full of cares herself – and too proud to accept help from anyone. The characters are engaging and well drawn – and the mix and interplay of people make this a very fun book to listen to. This is a solo recording by John Lieder and he does an excellent job crafting voices for the inhabitants of Mr. Bellew’s Arcadia. He’s easy to listen to and adds a spark to this lovely story. Review by ListeninginChicago for Internet Archive – 5.00 out of 5 stars. Cover design by Kathryn Delaney.

Deadly Codes: A Gallagher Novel is the award-winning sequel to Fatal Gamble. Daniel Cormac Gallagher, Jr., a Boston private eye, is hired to investigate the death of Jennifer Clark, tragically killed in a car bombing in her own driveway. Gallagher has been commissioned by Jeanne Campbell, Jennifer’s twin sister, to find a mysterious woman–Jennifer’s secret lesbian lover who vanished immediately after the bombing. While the authorities continue to pursue their suspicions that the terrorist act may have been intended for Jennifer’s husband, Bill, who holds a top-secret position in the counter-intelligence division of the National Security Agency, Jeanne reveals intricate details to Gallagher that intrigue him enough to take on the case. While Gallagher begins searching for the missing woman, he has no idea that a bounty has been placed on his own head. Two hired gunmen are plotting to kill him. Gallagher’s search takes him to Washington D.C. where he discovers that the car bombing is only a backdrop to a complex, treasonous scheme to sell code-breaking formulas to a hostile enemy nation. As the violent mystery unravels, Gallagher finds himself under deadly attack from two shocking but powerful forces — one he knows and another he never expects.
