Border Wars Trilogy #2
17 Degrees North
Seventeen degrees three minutes north—the latitude of the border that separates Juarez, Mexico from El Paso, Texas—for all practical purposes, one city with two souls. This is the gritty backdrop of the new Jack Sloan thriller from author Larry Seeley, 17 Degrees North.
Seeley, a former gaming industry CEO and professional blackjack player, first introduced readers to good-guy-with-a-past protagonist Jack Sloan in the 2010 award-winning mystery/suspense novel, Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves. Now, Sloan returns in this crisply paced follow-up, the second book of an expected trilogy.
17 Degrees North follows a trail between Juarez and Santa Fe, with stops along the way in El Paso and Phoenix. The story begins and ends in the barrancos of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains north of Santa Fe, with Jack’s fateful discovery of a mysterious satchel full of cash. Jack tells his wife Darlene about his find, and they’re quickly drawn into the most dangerous mystery of their lives.
Readers soon discover that the money is tied to the kidnapping/murder of a prominent New York hedge fund manager taken hostage in Juarez then killed in New Mexico. The U.S. and Mexican authorities working together to solve the case know something doesn’t fit, but they'll need Jack to find out what. Pendleton’s beautiful wife is also connected, but how remains as much of a mystery as what a man like Pendleton was doing in a place like Juarez in the first place.
Love, greed, and betrayal propel 17 Degrees North at a quickening pace, and It comes to a shocking end that will have Seeley's growing legion of fans clamoring for the next book in the series.

About the author
Larry Seeley
6 books18 followersLarry Seeley, author of the award-winning mystery/suspense novel, Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves (April 2010) and new followup, 17 Degrees North (March 2012), is the ex-CEO of the world’s largest privately-owned training company, the former CEO of the gaming firm that built the first Native casino in Maritime Canada, and a former professional blackjack player.
He and his wife, Katie, live twenty miles north of Santa Fe in a high desert valley bounded on the east by the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and on the west by the Jemez range. There they care for several chickens, nine cats, and four dogs on their secluded rancho. Katie is active in finding foster and adoptive homes for lost and abandoned pets. Larry spends his time writing the third novel in the Jack Sloan series, Bridge of the Americas.
An army veteran, Larry speaks, reads and writes fluent Arabic. Among his many vocations, he considers building a Native casino in New Brunswick, Canada among the most educational.
Con artists and swindlers swarmed Native casinos in the early days, and learning to deal with them and discovering whom you could trust and who had a knife at your back gave Seeley a distinct edge in deciphering people—and a decided advantage in character creation and development.
The strength of his writing lies in his characters. Seeley’s protagonist, Jack Sloan, represents all good guys caught in bad situations. He’s tough, but fair, and takes the reader through the agonizing decisions faced by people who must choose between right and wrong, good and evil, and do what is necessary.

Full Disclosure, I received a free copy of this book in an e-format (PDF) , in return for an honest review as part of a Member Author Book of the Month Group Promotion for the Goodreads- Action/Adventure Aficionados Discussion Group. I'd already purchases a paperback through Amazon.com for the event, but I appreciate the e-copy because that’s easier for me to read.
I'll cut to the chase, after the adding and subtracting is done, this is going to be a 4 star read. There aren't enough things to take issue with, and what there is, is relatively minor and likely more akin to a difference in my personal taste than anything. Larry Seeley's book 17 Degrees North is well put together. The plot make sense, the characters are likeable...even the ones you’re not supposed to like (I like them for being not likeable) and I loved the setting. Seeley's writing made the southwest come alive for me. The story itself was violent, but heroes stayed heroes and villains stayed villains. There's sex, violence, gunplay and things that go BOOM! What's not to like?
For a closer look:
The setting- mentioned above, but there was a gentle caress of the southwestern mountains and desert in the pages and text. Jack Sloane and Darlene took coffee where they could see the view, and drew comfort from it. It's not so much the lyrical details as it was the respect for nature and natural beauty in the writing. That was wonderful for me.
The sense of a Western - This book was by no means a "western." It was a modern crime story. Yet, the book still had that flare that westerns have...wide open country, horses, guns, white hats and black hats (and a few gray hats) where a man had to handle his own problems, with his fists or a quick draw, or if you weren't that good at those things, out thinking your opponent. Maybe it was the setting but it reminded me of Silverado or Outlaw Josey Wales, both western movies that I enjoyed very much.
The characters - I liked that these characters were not perfect people. They were very much like you and I...well as much as characters in any book that's not a biography are like you and I. By this I mean, they had flaws and weaknesses. They had human problems to go with the bullets that were flying. They feared for their lives and their families and found courage when they needed it, which not necessarily all of the time, and made mistakes. I liked Jack Sloane and Carlos especially and Rosalinda for that matter. We didn't get enough time to learn about Amanda and Maria and I would have liked to get to know Frank better (there's only so much time in a book I guess).
At times I felt the power of a woman's sexuality and beauty was overplayed, which is unusual because I usually find women in books where only one or the other aspect is over played or, most often, the power of a beautiful woman is practically meaningless. So, as tiny things go, this is different and not so bad. I mean, hey? ... if I were the young man I am in my dreams and think I once was, and someone said, "We have a mission, it's dangerous, you might be killed. The only drawback is that the women are too sexy." I'd say, "SIGN ME UP!"
And more important, the women had more than one dimension to their character. They had well designed back-stories that fit the way they came across and their roles in the story. Darlene and Rosalinda had some depth to them as did Elizabeth but Liz got in a little over her head...(you'll get joke that when you read the book). And, in Rosalinda's case, I'd have to steal a quote from Jessica Rabbit, "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way." By that I mean that, this beauty and sexuality was not a mistake, it fit her role and character design, as did Elizabeth's. So, we’re talking about a little thing here like too much sugar on cinnamon toast. In the end, I'm still going to eat every bite and love it. (Lots of butter too).
The Plot - I found the plot interesting. It wasn't hard to figure out, but, that's the rub. A knowledge of causes and who-done it's doesn't solve a problem. I spent a lot of time entertaining thoughts like... "this Jack guy's screwed," "oh, you’re an idiot!” and my personal favorite “Dude, she's gonna cut your ...!" It was reader angst, but that’s good angst. The kind of emotional reaction that makes books fun to read. All the time spent wondering how things would work out without pine boxes or divorce ...or both was well spent and part of the fun. To me, that's great. Some things aren't hard to figure out (especially since I was privy to the minds of the bad people as well as the good guy's). Stories don't end once things get figured out, in fact, that's when the real work and dangers starts. "You may know why your tooth aches, but it's still going to hurt until you go to a dentist." Seeley not only showed us what the problem was, he let us go through the proper therapy to correct it... proper therapy in a crime-action novel usually involves violence...ain't that fun? (I think so.)
Memory Lane - This book brought me back to some of the older films of my youth, when film makers couldn't rely on special effects and sex-appeal to carry their story... well, not sex-appeal alone anyway. I’m talking about a time when movies had to rely on plot and suspense. There were violent movies, but the good ones did not show violence for ratings, it was violence for a purpose that fit the context of a gritty story about bad men and how to stand up to them. The movie that comes to mind is "The Gauntlet" with Clint Eastwood (not Dirty Harry but Dirty Ben Shockley). Good movies, if violent and it's nice that a book reminds me of those.
Summary - It's a western movie overlaid on a modern crime story. There is violence, so be careful if you are sensitive to violent things. There is sexuality and sex, but all in good taste, and lots of intrigue that brings out the thrill of the chase I enjoyed some wonderful characters with human flaws standing up for themselves like we all wish we could do.
So, overall, I give it 4 stars. And I recommend it.

This book isn't just a page turner - it grabs you by the throat with both hands and hurls you through the pages at over 100 MPH. This is one E-Ticket ride that you won't want to pass up! I read the book starting last night, rather late and just finished at 9:30 AM with no sleep. Who can sleep on a rollercoaster going over 100MPH with all those twists and turns, uphills and downhills. I'm exhausted.
This story is so relevant to our times it is scarey. Living about 300 miles from the border in Texas, it hits home for me, between the Mexican gangs, the cartels, the recent violence, these are very evil people. This is a classic story of good versus evil. Our main protagonists Jack and Darlene are married and deeply in love, living on a ranch in New Mexico. Out for a ride on his horse Sapphire, Jack stumbles onto a bag filled with money. On the way home, he is knocked unconscious - ending up in the hospital for two days, while the bag of money remains in his barn forgotten. When he finally comes to, he immediately checks himself out of the hospital and shows Darlene what's in the bag. They count it - 2.5 M dollars. He calls a police friend to ask if any money is missing. He finds out that a world famous financier was being exchanged for ransom of 2.5M, when the kidnapped person was killed and the ransom disappeared. Now the story really gets rolling. There are many gun battles, explosions, mangled personal property, an asphyxyation, several shootings, beatings, torture through electricution, sniper attacks, knifings, and a whole lot more. This book is not for the faint of heart - if you're a peace-nik ( Yah, I'm talking to people like you, Mom) , then this book's not for you. Evil people do evil things, and the only way to stop them somtimes is to take them out.
The characterization in this book was so utterly life like that you could tell that the author had first hand experience in these types of situations. I loved both Jack and Darlene - so totally human, strengths,flaws and all. I love that Darlene is feminine, yet if someone threatens her home or the ones she loves, she won't hesitate to blow them away, then feel bad about it afterwards. I also love John Thundercloud. He's my kind of shaman. Carlos is wonderful too. Jack is the consummate protector - thinking of making sure everyone else is safe while trying to catch the bad guys. He does some crazy things to protect his family and get the bad guy, as well as wrap up the case.
The pacing of the book was the supersonic, E-Ticket ride I talked of earlier. The dialogue in the book is done extremely well. It's primarily in English with some Spanish thrown in. You can definitely tell who's speaking just by the words they use and the way they use them. This is an artform all by itself. The ending of the book wasn't too rushed or too slow - it was perfect for this supersonic thrillride of a book. It closed off each avenue of questions nicely while wrapping up the story. I'd give you an extra star just for that, but I'm already maxed out. Very nice job on the ending.
You know, I'm not normally an action /adventure reader; I tend more toward classics, historical fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, and art books. But I have to be truthful, if action/adventure novels are anywhere the quality of 17 Degrees North, then I've been missing out on an entire genre that I had never considered before. But, in all reality, I feel that this book must be the cream of the crop. I'm sure there's a few more out there that match the quality, but not a genre full. I may be wrong... If I am I apologize ahead of time. No flaming emails or comment please!
I would heartily recommend this book to anyone who speaks English and can tolerate violent content (no peace-niks). It is truly a thumping good read of the first order. Anyone interested in current affairs needs to read this book! Anyone looking for a great action adventure story needs to read this book! I want to thank Goodreads First Reads where I won this book - what a book to win! I would also like to personally thank Larry Seeley for writing this incredible book. Consider me your newest fan. My advice to all of you is buy the book, you can't go wrong, it's worth every penny and second you'll spend on it. Happy Reading!

Good read, I liked the Jack Sloan character. In a way he felt a little like one of the characters that James Lee Burke would write and that's a good thing! Nice descriptive passages, pretty good action sequences, a decent plot - it was a good, fun read. I like tough guy characters who can really kick some ass yet treat their women and animals with tender care. Going to go back and read his first novel, "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" since I started here with his second novel featuring Jack Sloan and his girlfriend Darlene who was well written too, by the way. Looking forward to the third!

Seventeen Degrees, the follow up to Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves, opens with protagonist Jack Sloan who discovers of a satchel full of cash. What follows is the killing of a prominent New York hedge fund manager, a missing five hundred million dollars, a connection with A Mexican drug cartel, the FBI, a long line of corpses along the way, and Jack Sloan and his wife Darlene at the center of everything.
I love the Jack Sloan character, who I liken to Jack Reacher from the Lee Child series. He has steel in his back and velvet in his heart. Author Larry Seeley continues to masterfully develop his characters. Example: Too often I read characters who endure traumatic events that would break most people, only to see them in the next book bounce back as if nothing happened. In Seventeen Degrees, Jack Sloan is battling Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from the attack at their rancho in the first book that manifests in regular nightmares. This is part of the character arc Sloan has to overcome as the relentless killer pursues the satchel of cash Jack found.
17 Degrees is not a book to buy for your kids. But if you like gritty straight up action, relentless killers, and well developed characters, then 17 Degrees and Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves are books I highly recommend. Download them both and read them in order. Thanks Larry for the second book and I hope there is a third one soon!

As soon as I finished the first book in Larry Seeley's Jack Sloan series, Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves, I jumped into the second, 17 Degrees North - and read it in a weekend. Sloan is cool, a product of the southwest and the backstabbing gaming industry that both serve as colorful backdrops for the book. The plot grabbed me out of the gate, and pushed the book along at a fast clip - the perfect plane read. I enjoy all Seeley's characters, and especially enjoy the southwestern US, which Seeley obviously loves and treats as if it were a character itself. Fun and completely addicting - from a reader who doesn't do a ton of thrillers. Look forward to the next Jack Sloan!

A thrilling mountain ride of switchback fun. This book was a pleasurable read. How could it not be with a discovered cache of cash. $2.5 million dollars worth. This highly readable Jack Sloan novel has a jacket full of quirky characters all in search of the mystery behind the dough.
Jack Sloan and his wife, Darlene, are knee deep in the conundrum. Add in a Mexican federale, an old school FBI agent, an Ute Indian Shaman, a local sherriffs deputy, a beautiful mistress, and a Mexican Narco-politico and you have a fabulous read.
Author, Larry Seeley has squarely hit the back of the net with his new book. If you enjoy thrillers, make sure this one goes on your reading list.

I got this book as a Goodreads giveaway. Jack Sloan the main character seems to have trouble find him. The book is easy to read and the story brings you in so you do not want to put it down. I am looking forward to reading the other Jack Sloan book.

Enjoyed this book. Very good read with lots of action and suspense. Keeps you guessing about the characters right until the end with twists in the plot. Jack Sloan is a likable tough guy and the author enables a good connection for the reader with the characters in the book.

I LOVED this book! It was exciting. It had a good story. Good characters and everything was believable (I keep finding myself having to suspend disbelief - not this time). The story takes off like a shot (no spoilers - it is worth experiencing without knowing anything) and never lets up. A truely enjoyable read. Definitely worth your time! Highly recommended.
