Audio Reviews: "Listeners will quickly become absorbed in this
suspenseful tale that pits the Rue Morgue's best detective against a wily cast
of ne'er-do-wells. Case's characterizations are so convincing that it's hard to
believe he made this recording alone. Each role is masterfully incarnated, terrifyingly
accurate. Hang on to your blood pressure, it's quite a ride!"
