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.

      [Editor's Note: The following is a combined review with the abridged THE CONDUCTOR.]--Kennealy brings us another web of intrigue and murder, including a series of dead bodies, starting with a headless, handless one. In the abridgment Eliot Kohen effortlessly puts voices to the international cast of characters and succeeds in exuding the tension, despite jarring music that announces changes of scene. Christopher Lane reads the unabridged version with few accents and much passion. Unbroken by music, Lane's performance drives THE CONDUCTOR forward toward its suspenseful conclusion. M.B.K.

      The terrorist El Cabecilla ("the conductor") has exploited the full abilities of his plastic surgeon in an attempt to avoid the Mossad. But the Russians have caught up with him, and the price of their silence is for him to capture a wealthy American on the verge of making a successful bid for Russian oil. This thriller by the author of the Nick Polo mystery series is a perfectly enjoyable action-filled summer read--as long as you don't set your sights too high. The characters are familiar cliches: El Cabecilla is a psychopath (he was raped by priests at school); his sidekick, a vicious lesbian; the hero, a borderline alcoholic cop still recovering from the death of his family. The body count is enormously high, which tends to emphasize the villains' nastiness even as it undermines their credibility as brilliant criminal minds.
