Opis

Dead Stick by Bathsheba Monk and Joe Taleroski is the latest in a series of riveting Swanson Herbinko page-turners. Centered around a small Massachusetts airport, divorce attorney Herbinko's representation of a wealthy client entangles her in a terrifying and nefarious white slavery racket that caters to moneyed degenerates. Of course Herbinko has to deal with murder and mayhem not only in serving her client, but also in merely surviving. To do so, it takes all of Swanson's intelligence and street savvy, along with the formidable assistance of Dick, her trusty P.I. sidekick, Devil Dog her pet Dachshund, and Pee Toe, the occasionally loveable Pit Bull. As usual in Swanson Herbinko mysteries, the bad-guys in Dead Stick are sinister and creepy, while the good-guys are engaging, quirky and charmingly eccentric. The plot moves along with the speed of a plane in high-speed cruise, and I found it difficult to put the book down without reading just one more chapter. -Paul R.
