An entire family has been murdered in the most horrific
scene Lucas Davenport has ever seen. The level of violence and ruthlessness
makes him immediately suspect the involvement of a Mexican drug cartel but he
can find no evidence whatsoever to support this theory.
A tale of robbery, greed, drugs and murder follows featuring
a whole host of unsavoury characters which includes: Three Mexican hitmen,
disgruntled bank employees, a questionable Mexican cop and his assistant, along
with Virgil Flowers who now has his own spin-off series of books.
While attempting to get to the bottom of all this Lucas must
cope with an arm injury caused when he became the victim of opportunistic muggers.
Will he catch up with them?
Being familiar with this series definitely enhances the
reading experience as this one on it’s own doesn’t quite have the excitement of
previous efforts, but as part of the series it’s another reasonably satisfying
outing for Davenport and Co. largely thanks to the gripping finale.
Ric’s Rating: Good.
