A quick (2 cassettes) but very exciting story. Joan Allen is a wonderful reader - brought Britt Montera to life. Crime reporter stumbles on a story about a murdered athlete involving several policemen. Miami begins to melt down in racial riots and killings. Britt is hard at work solving the murder and getting the story out to calm the public. Great audio book. Very enjoyable.

Blond-haired, green-eyed Britt Montero, a feisty Cuban-American reporter, routinely covers the most violent street crimes for a mojor Miami newspaper. Ironically, it's a seemingly cut-and-dried accident that proves to be her most danderous story. The police chase a black motorist--a former football star--and the fleeing man has a fatal collision. But as Britt digs below the surface, the story takes a disturbing turn. Determined to root out the shocking truth, she uses all her savvy to crack the story, only to be caught in the cross fire when justice goes awry and Miami erupts into a virtual war zone. Her very survival in question, Britt must fight to escape the lethal violence of a riot-torn city whose contents under pressure have suddenly exploded.
