The Best Bad Dream by Robert Ward
5 STARS
It was a little different the villians of the story. I guessed some right and a whole lot wrong. It kept me guessing and surprised me at the end.
Their were a lot of characters that I did not admire and a few I did, but they where all were different.
Michelle and Jennifer were out riding bikes to Taos Publeo. Jennifer was mad at her sister so she wanted to think and be alone for 20 minutes and would meet her sister at Keva. Michelle went into one of the ro...more

I can't remember the title, but some years ago Ward wrote a crime novel, not even listed here, that I liked. On the strength of that, I bought this. The story is wildly improbable, not to mention predictable. Furthermore, Ward throws in a subplot about his son and a pederast librarian that adds nothing but some sexed-up sensationalism.

When Michelle Wu's sister goes missing in Sante Fe, she can't inform the police because she is rarely on the right side of the law herself, so she begs FBI Agent Jack Harper to interrupt his vacation and find her. Leaving his teenage son in the care of his father, Jack heads to the desert only to become the target of a meth dealing biker gang, a vicious Razorback and new age seniors who claim to have found the fountain of youth.

I chose this book for the Santa Fe, NM setting. It got a bit twisted, this story about finding eternal youth. Some parts were downright gory, some pretty intense sex and violence. The FBI agent hero used his wits to save the day.
Another great story by one of my favorite authors. Robert Ward is great at keeping you guessing until the end.
I couldn't be bothered to read past page 40. Sort of style for advanced ESL readers who aren't intellectually oriented.
