Secret Window, Secret Garden: Two Past Midnight (Four Past Midnight)

<p><br>The second of a four-part audio series from Stephen King&#8217;s bestselling book, <I>Four Past Midnight</I>. <p>Recently divorced writer Mort Rainey is alone at Tashmore Lake&#151;that is, until a figure named John Shooter arrives, pointing an accusing finger.<p></p><h3>Publishers Weekly</h3><p>When first confronted by John Shooter, famous novelist Mort Rainey sees him as nothing more than an avid, albeit slightly eccentric, fan. However, Shooter's accusation of plagiarism and his overbearing attitude of malevolence send Rainey scattering to prove his innocence. As Rainey's evidence disappears, his sanity and safety go along with it, and soon he is approaching a reckoning with the determined Shooter. Besides a few audible page turns, James Woods offers a compelling reading, eliciting the stress and anxiety building up in Rainey as he comes unraveled. There's a slightly whiny pitch to Woods's voice that also makes him a good match for Rainey. This 1991 recording (of a novella taken from King's Four Past Midnight) is making its belated debut on CD after 17 years, and throughout it has the recognizable light background hiss of an older recording.<BR>Copyright &copy; Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
