THE CONDUCTOR by Jerry Kennealy (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

When lawyer Mary Ariza stops on the street to help a man having a heart attack, she unknowingly marks herself for death. Jack Kordic, a cop’s cop, is thrust into the same nightmare. Neither knows they stand in the way of an assassin known as The Conductor.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audios Audie® Award-winning narrator Christopher Lane. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

“Christopher Lane reads [with]…much passion.…Lanes performance drives The Conductor forward toward its suspenseful conclusion.”—AudioFile

When Mary Ariza, a beautiful and savvy lawyer, stops to help a man having a heart attack on the street, she unknowingly marks herself for death. And when Police Inspector Jack Kordic, a cop’s cop, discovers that the headless, handless corpse floating in the icy Pacific is somehow linked to Mary Ariza, he is thrust into the same nightmare.

What neither knows is that they have been pushed into the path of an international assassin they cannot see. Known as The Conductor, his mission is to kidnap a San Francisco billionaire, and to do so, he must commit a crime of unthinkable proportions. Mary Ariza and Jack Kordic are fatally in his way.

Author Jerry Kennealy, a licensed private eye, makes use of his experience in this exciting thriller.
