Smash Cut

A Novel

De: Sandra Brown

Narrado por: Victor Slezak

THE PRINCIPALS

Paul Wheeler. CEO of the Wheeler Enterprises empire. At age 52, he's a pillar of Atlanta society and a brilliant businessman. But Paul is out of the picture even before the opening credits -- shot dead during an armed robbery.

Julie Rutledge. A savvy, cultured, and attractive Southern woman, seasoned by a stint of study and romance in Paris. She owns the city's most successful and sophisticated art gallery on Peachtree Street. She was also Paul Wheeler's weekly companion at the hotel where he was murdered and was hand in hand with him at the time of his death.

Derek Mitchell. A defense lawyer of renown. Successful, handsome, and despised by the Atlanta PD for his courtroom victories, he goes to the mat to make a case for every client - and headlines for himself. A guilty verdict is not an option. Yet he's not entirely without a conscience, as proven when his life takes a terrible turn toward the cinematic.

Creighton Wheeler. The prodigal nephew of Paul. With movie-star looks and guileless blue eyes, the 28-year-old playboy has a penchant for call girls, fast cars, and designer clothes. But his passion is movies. He studies them, quotes them...and lives them. Even those closest to Creighton can't be sure when he exits reality and enters the fantasy world of films.

STORYBOARD

The murder of Paul Wheeler has all the elements of a blockbuster: family rivalries, incalculable wealth, and a prominent man dying in the arms of his beautiful mistress. It's a case that could earn Derek Mitchell even greater star power. When the Wheeler family approaches him about defending Creighton for his uncle's murder -- even before he's charged -- he jumps at the chance.

But Derek soon discovers that Julie will stop at nothing to secure justice for Paul...

I really enjoyed this book (except for the part about the dog) and would recommend it to anyone who likes interesting twists, a great narrator and suspense right up to the end!

Another great read/listen!

Sandra Brown's character development is unmatched. Loved them and the story. The twists and turns kept me engrossed.

Loved it

I loved the book. Even tho you can see the plot from the beginning it has twists and turns that make you doubt what you originally thought.

Really Good but...

This book was really very good and held my attention right from the start...the only thing I had a problem with was the (dog) ...that bothered me a little bit

A winner!

As usual, Sandra keeps you hanging on till the very end. Great read. Surprise after surprise!

Great book!

Suspenseful until the very end! The characters are great, and the reader is terrific.

Another Good Book from a Great Author

Sandra Brown rarely disappoints and sure didn't with this book. She keeps your interest throughout and ends with you fulfilled but worry its over.

Really liked this one

Excellent narration as always by Mr Slezak.
Good story with twists and turns.
Classic Sandra Brown.

Kept Me On The Edge Of My Seat

Great read! Didn't want to put it down. Dodge is a hoot, and a heck of an investigator. He's my favorite character. Superb ending!!
