Acts of Desperation


Read by Tim Dodge

(4.3 stars; 88 reviews)

Ray Davis is newly divorced, going nowhere at a dead-end job in a warehouse, and has almost worked off the debts his ex-wife rang up. Then his underinsured brother's need for a liver transplant forces Ray to come up with a lot of money, fast. When he attempts to recover the profit he made with an old business partner, Ray discovers that the partner is dead and his investment has fallen into the hands of a drug dealer. The dealer has used the cash to buy a large supply of cocaine; he and his gun are not inclined to return the proceeds. Ray enlists a crude private eye to help him get it back, and he falls in love with Jenna, a beautiful waitress. His struggle to recover the money soon takes him deep into a swamp of crime, drugs, murder and revenge. Caught in a war between rival dealers, he comes to realize that the stakes have risen beyond the woman he loves or the money he needs to save his brother. He's fighting for his life.

ACTS OF DESPERATION is the new thriller from Tim Dodge. It combines crime, action, adventure, romance and humor into a roller coaster ride of a story.

A good story and yes there are a couple of sound problems. (like noises in the background) but I still enjoyed it and the music was the right choice. A little bit formulaic in places but if you like purgatory you'll this and vice versa. Great job!

Betsy-Anne, Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've learned a lot about recording since I did ACTS, particularly about balancing sound levels. I also have a better microphone now. Thank you again for reading! Tim
