This book opens with a knife fight, which is a really great lead into the gunfight that follows. This is very typical of the pacing in this book. It screams Quentin Tarrintino. It’s like Desperado meets the original Shaft. From beginning to end it’s “Wham Bam Thank You Ma’am”.
Marley is the ultimate bad ass. His job? It depends who’s paying. This time it involves getting a drug cartel leader’s daughter to a meeting with the state attorney general. Her Father is dead, and she’s in charge, but Lina Guzman doesn’t really want to be there. This could be her way out. But there are plenty of people who would rather she were out permanently. And so, as she and Marley shoot their way from Tijauna to Sacramento we ride along with them, out of breath and waiting to see what happens next.
