Alton and Mallory, and their team are sent to Guadalajara, Mexico to investigate the murder of two archaeologists and the mysterious disappearance of a third. It is not a simple murder investigation with intrigue including black market artefact sales and dubious characters.
Freemans regular characters are likeable, thorough in their work and clever. They are brought to life with excellent written imageries of their actions, thoughts and physical descriptions. The story line is full of action, mystery and history. It is all brought to life with beautiful descriptive passages of the background sights, sounds and smells.
The agents and police are teamed up to work on three different aspects of the investigation. Freeman’s story moves smoothly between one group with no confusion ot distraction of the overall storyline.
It is, put simply, another great mystery story from Steven F. Freeman. I certainly need to go back and read the stories in the Blackwell Files I have missed
I received a free copy of this book for review.
My rating 5*. The story is well written, draws in the reader and the pace never slows down.
