Journalist Jack Gannon's estranged sister, Cora, disappeared without
a trace decades ago. Now she is frantically reaching out to him
for help. If you have been a fan of the Jack Gannon series, it is
a relief to finally learn what really caused Cora to abandon her
little brother and just disappear.
Cora's eleven-year-old daughter, Tilly Martin is dragged from her
suburban bedroom. Cora is bound and gagged and warned that the kidnappers
want their five million dollars back within five days, or Tilly
dies. If anyone contacts the police....Tilly dies. The kidnappers
are sure that Cora's boyfriend has stolen five million dollars from
them.
Cora manages to loosen her bonds, and e-mail her brother, Jack.
She has kept track of him over the years, and is sure that he is
the only one who can help her. Jack is on assignment in Mexico,
investigating the drug Cartels, but flies to the aid of his sister.
The complicated plot lines in this thriller take you from San Francisco,
to Phoenix, to Mexico and back again. Cora is anxious to assist
in the investigation, except for the one thing she must never tell,
it may be the only secret keeping her daughter alive.
A twenty year old man seeks absolution and relief from the haunting
faces of people that he has executed for the Cartel and confesses
to a priest before departing to commit his final assassination.
I started this book, knowing full well that I would not be able
to put it down until I came to the mind-blowing climax. I was not
disappointed. You can count on Mofina to provide you with non-stop
exciting entertainment.
