Think about the kidnappers in Latin America who have been practicing and improving their trade for years, developing new and more efficient ways of extracting the wealth of their victims. What if they decided to operate in the U.S. Riskier? Yes, but the rewards would be so much greater since there is so much potential wealth to steal. That’s the theme of this book as Tano Luquin, with international terrorist ties, brings his Mexican chief of operations, Jorge Macias along as they begin devastating the life of Titus Cain, a self-made Texan business tycoon, a good guy who is beloved by his employees and friends. Luquin only wants $64 mil, which is ¼ of Cain’s wealth. To make his threat real to Cain, Luquin kills his best life-long buddy and his personal secretary. More deaths are threatened if Cain contacts the cops or FBI, but Cain quickly finds his way to Garcia Burden, a shadowy figure who has been looking for Luquin for years, who can’t believe he’s finally found a connection to him. This is one very fast-paced, can’t-put-it-down read. This was my fourth Lindsey book, and while I was disappointed in the story line in the last one, The Face of the Assassin, there was no disappointment here.
