What to expect
The very first novel by Michael Crichton, the legendary creator of Jurassic Park and ER
Steven Jencks has planned the perfect crime. Working with two skilled associates, he will hit the Reina, a super-luxury hotel off the coast of Spain, and then walk away with the haul of a lifetime. As the ultimate pro, Jencks has even run his plan through a complex computer simulation to account for every possible variable …
Except three.
Their names are Annette, Cynthia, and Jenny. And no computer could ever simulate what these three femmes fatales have up their sleeves.
With a new introduction by Sherri Crichton
Critics Review
-
“Edoardo Ballerini rises to the challenge of narrating Michael Crichton’s first-ever novel…Ballerini seamlessly delivers a variety of accents, including British, American, and Spanish, to create a cast of larger-than-life characters. His dialogue and his characterizations of the female protagonists, young and old, are particularly notable. Also, his spot-on timing helps keep the plot moving through various red herrings and twists…Ballerini’s strong narration highlights [the story’s] strengths.”
