The Mexican got up from the couch, calmly, and took a step toward Walker, sending a ripple of tension across the room. The rest of the bikers straightened up and inched forward threateningly, clearly ready to rumble, as did Navarro's two aides.-- The Devil's Elixir by Raymond Khoury. This is a drugs-and-guns thriller with a historical mystery overlay. It is pure entertainment.
This is the latest in Khoury's Templar series, featuring FBI agent Sean Reilly and his archaeologist girlfriend Tess Chaykin. I haven't read the others, but this one stands alone just fine.
Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by Should Be Reading, where you can find the official rules for this weekly event.
Sounds like this one would be exciting.
