A Jon Cantrell Thriller

review 1: Jon Cantrell, a disgraced ex-cop, and his feral partner and lover Piper (her mantra is: "When in doubt, put rounds on the target"), are contract agents for the DEA. Their job is to transport a major witness against the largest Mexican cartel jefe to a federal courtroom. Along the way, they confront crooked DEA agents, crooked cops, Mexican hit men, rogue private security elements, assorted crazies, and corrupt politicians. Their survival, and that of the witness, is problematic. The book is well written, consistently exciting, and deeply cynical about the ways of the world. Despite that cynicism, Jon and Piper, and their ally, Milo, retain some human integrity.
review 2: Interesting and different story than my usual read, but over the top violence, almost carto... moreonish, Sylvester Stallone movie level violence. Graphic descriptions of gun violence are really not my cup of tea, and having some familiarity with weaponry, I understand the weapons described, and how they are used. I don't need a Dexter blood spatter pattern described in nanosecond detail. However, the author does know his stuff, if you have a taste for that sort of thing. less
