Opis

Killers cut an amusement park sky ride cable that kills a prominent Hispanic politician and a woman who drowns when her cable car falls into the water. The Texas Governor orders a young Texas Ranger to take over the investigation because he had arrested the politician victim on drug smuggling charges. The politician's brothers stalk the Ranger because they believe he framed their brother. A 21-year-old sky ride attendant becomes unwillingly involved, and gets into deep trouble with the killers and the law as well. This is an action filled detective story with bad guys who are really bad and a clever, yet quite human detective. No graphic sex scenes or "F" word, but macho appeal is still there. It's clean enough that you could give it to your daughter or your mother. Other titles that had been considered will tell you something: Trophies (one of the characters is a compulsive trophy collector.) Homicide Exclusion (murder motive involves $6 million in insurance money, but each policy has a homicide exclusion. Some of the characters: Enrique "Gar" Garcia, young Texas Ranger, his wife Lizzie, son Enrique Jr.; Steve Pierce, 21, with a prison record who is caught up in the crime as a suspect and a victim; Thomas, law student who became a career criminal; Hawknose, his sociopath partner; Burke Masters, "big man in town" and obsessive compulsive trophy collector; Ben and Johnny Diaz, amateur assassins; Two detectives, a surly police chief, and several women you'll get to know.
