The Padre Poison

by David Harry

A Jimmy Redstone/ Angella Martinez ThrillerStolen art, a dead DHS agent, and hints of weapon-grade uranium being enriched at an abandoned mine in the jungles of Mexico form the backdrop to Jimmy’s and Angella’s mission to uncover exactly what is going on. Mix the Jacks, ruthless Mexican couriers who would sooner slit your throat than talk with you, with impersonators, imposters, and possible double-agents, stir in a heavy dose of international double-crossing and the formula for disaster is all but complete.

Reviews

[Adrian Ramos · Rating 4 out of 5]

More of the master imposter that actually saves the day. Mexico, Israel and the US. Now what kind of story can you make up to get these three counties in the middle of an international crisis. The author does a great job of tying all together. But he needs to take it easy on our hero, he needs a physical break. Ankle, wrist, hand, shot, stabbed, beat up, radiation poisoning….. when he retires he will go immediately onto Social Security Disability. lol. And a wife being 20 years younger isn’t going to keep him young.
