Title: The Vices Author: Lawrence Douglas Narrator: Andy Caploe Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 06-13-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Fiction, Historical Publisher's Summary: Oliver Vice, 41, prominent philosopher, scholar, and art collector, is missing and presumed dead, over the side of Queen Mary 2. Troubled by his friends possible suicide, the unnamed narrator of Lawrence Douglas new novel launches an all-consuming investigation into Vices life history. Douglas, moving backward through time, tells a mordantly humorous story of fascination turned obsession, as his narrator peels back the layers of the Vice familys rich and bizarre history. At the heart of the family are Francizka, Olivers handsome, overbearing, vaguely anti-Semitic Hungarian mother, and his fraternal twin brother, Bartholomew, a gigantic and troubled young man with a morbid interest in Europes great tyrants. As the narrator finds himself drawn into a battle over the familys money and art, he comes to sense that someone - or perhaps the entire family - is hiding an unsavory past. Pursuing the truth from New York to London, from Budapest to Portugal, he remains oblivious to the irony of the search: that in his need to understand Vices life, he is really grappling with ambivalence about his own.

The boy is fascinated by her, his mother despises her, and the brutish farmhand wants to possess her. When the woman mysteriously disappears, the only trace of her a bloodied dress, the boy sets out in search of an Indian hawker who may or may not have the answers. As he journeys through the broken landscape, accompanied only by his horse and his dog, the boy becomes aware of another party converging murderously on his destination. Editorial Reviews: A sensual young woman stumbles into a farm on the remote Australian salt flats, and narrators Cynthia Barrett and Alan Robertson terrifically embody the emotional upheaval she causes. Their shifts in tension and pitch clearly define the family's reactions: the boy's voyeuristic fascination, his mother's suspicion and jealousy, the farmhand's loutish desire. When the young woman vanishes, the boy takes his horse and dog to search for her, convinced that she has joined a charismatic Indian peddler. The details of the boy's journey through the desolate landscape, rendered in Robertson's gentle rasp, are particularly stirring.
