      Dan Fortune grew up on the unforgiving streets of New York, started down a crooked path, and then turned into an honest detective. When a scared kid offers him $50 to find a friend, his conscience gnaws at him to take the case. Fortune soon realizes he's not the only one looking. This late sixties mystery resonates 40 years later, in part because of R.C. Bray's narration. His accent sounds like New York without being over the top. His gruff thugs growl but are never campy. Bray handles many characters who come Fortune's way, from his understanding girlfriend to potential witnesses, a serious cop, and members of the missing boy's family. The story, told from Fortune's point of view, moves through gritty streets, keeping the detective--and listeners--guessing. M.B. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
