Publisher's Summary

When the love of his life is accused of murder, a university professor will stop at nothing to prove her innocence.

On a late night drive home, Ike Goldman, a retired Columbia University law professor, saves a woman from killing herself by jumping off the George Washington Bridge. The woman's name is Elizabeth Hopper, and Ike, a widower, unexpectedly finds himself falling in love.

Everything changes when Elizabeth's estranged husband, a rich Wall Street executive she claims abused her, is found murdered, and Elizabeth is the prime suspect. Now Ike must uncover the truth, even as he fights to protect the woman he loves.

Fast-paced and suspenseful, Redemption is one of Howard Fast's last audiobooks, and a remarkable story of love and loyalty amid the most harrowing of circumstances.

Quality Book Let Down By Narration

Howard Fast presents a fairly pedestrian crime - the murder of an unscrupulous Wall Street "player" and trial of his abused ex-wife. The author makes it more intriguing with interesting characters: a retired Law Professor in love with the suspect, an aggressive Public Defender/Defense Attorney, and realistic police/prosecutors/judge.
The dialogue overall isn't great and case details are pretty "ho-hum", but Fast provides intuitive strategy/tactics and well-scripted courtroom interactions. I found myself emotionally invested in the outcome.

Unfortunately, Christopher Kipiniak provides some of the worst narration that I have heard in a long time. Besides reading waaaaaay too slowly (this audiobook is only really tolerable at 1.25X), the woeful overenunciation and truly weak voice-acting merely leave Kipiniak's painfully squeaky natural sibilance as *the most* noticeable deficiency (avoid earbuds if you value your cochleas). I implore you to listen to the sample before downloading the book (or stick to a text copy).

Altogether, 'Redemption' rates a reasonable 5.5 stars out of 10. It would be worth far more with a better reader, but we have what we have. As it stands, it's not crazy to download it as a 'Plus' selection.. but spending a Credit on it would be straight-up foolish.
