Synopsis

The novels of New York Times best-selling author J.F. Freedman combine gritty realism with gripping suspense. Bird's-Eye View is a vivid thriller that will keep listeners enthralled from start to finish. Ex-collegiate professor turned loner, Fritz Tullis dropped out of academia for all the right reasons. He now spends his time thinking, drinking, fishing and photographing birds from a sweltering, screen-windowed shack at the edge of a swamp in southern Maryland. One morning, spying on birds with his telephoto lens, Fritz spots a plane landing on an airstrip across the bay. When he witnesses a deadly gunfight erupt outside the plane, Fritz, against his better judgement, is compelled to investigate further. Narrator Tom Stechschulte deftly navigates through Freedman's winding story as the stakes get higher and higher and Fritz's once quiet life is transformed into chaos.

Goodreads review by Bonnye Reed

We all know Fritz Tullis. We hold him a little in disdain, and unless we are angry with him, there is a touch of pity mixed with impatience when we think of him. THIS Fritz handles it well when push comes to shove. Not a book you will want to put down before the final chapter.......more

Goodreads review by Kay

Each time Freedman introduces a new main character I always think they are such a loser. But somehow before I know it, I really like him. Fritz is no different than any of the others. Once I got into this book I really enjoyed it!......more
