Beneath the still blue waters off Key Largo a woman dives into a dazzling array of color. But behind the shimmering schools of fish, somewhere in the shadows of the reef, a death trap awaits. In minutes one life will be expertly, brutally taken, and another plunged into a mean season of fury, obsession, and revenge… His name is Thorn, his world is mangrove islands, open waters, and the ghosts of a too-violent past. Darcy Richards was everything to him. Now, finding her killer is. Wading into a seething mystery, Thorn is catapulted into a nightmare of violence and deception. There lurks a sensual young woman with a hard come-on, an aging former mobster, and a diabolical ex-CIA man. What they all have in common is each other’s mad ruthlessness — and a little red fish that will make some people very rich, and others very dead..
Digitally Enhanced in order to fix audio recording Speed/Pitch/Tone as much as possible so that the recording sounds like the late legend, Frank Muller himself. He had many variations on his voice depending on what he was reading, so I had to try and fix the recording to match the type he was using for that book, ie fast and upbeat or low and measured, (like the difference between his reading of John Grisham legal thrillers and Stephen King and cop thrillers with mafia voices and Silence of the Lambs or Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles) and the year, as he sounded different in the early 80s than he did in late 80s and 90s and 2000s. Many recordings out there have severe audio issues which stem from the digital source which likely stems from a bad cassette transfer, which I have endeavored to fix so that Frank can be heard as he actually was. Noise, Bass/Treble etc have also been tuned, along with Audio level being normalized to -3db top end max with a maximum boost of +2.5db for lower volume areas. Audio encode frequency is 44.1KHz at 128Kbps Stereo for best quality with no compression artifacts (unless source was low quality to begin with and noise couldnt be completely removed). Many of these were very bad and I have done the best I can over 12 years working on these to restore them once I discovered Frank Muller in 2010, 2 years after he passed away. Long Live THE LEGEND
