Journey to the sun washed resort of Cancun and follow a young American couple, Jack and Josephine Phillips, on an adventure into the jungles of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. Adventure turns to terror when Josephine disappears and Jack finds himself on the run from mysterious assassins, the Mexican Federales, and possibly even his own government. The Phillips have unwittingly become entangled in the Mexican underworld, a complicated web that stretches from the Carribean coast line of Quintana Roo to the upper reaches of the United States Government. In a land where the line between the law and the outlaw is blurred, can Jack survive long enough to solve the mystery of his wife’s disappearance?
I must apologise for choosing this book. It was really poor. Not a bit of tension or surprise… and you certainly didnt feel any closer to sandy mexican beaches!!
Never trust those online reviews!
Don’t feel too bad Carol, I actually enjoyed this book. So thanks for recommending it! It is a long way from the great American novel. But I did enjoy reading about the ruin sites, having traveled the area many years ago it brought back some good memories. I am probably not the smartest guy in the world but I was fooled a couple times by the plot twists.
I’m with Bob, this one took me a few chapters to get into. The set-up and all the info on the Mayans kind of wore on me. But once I got into the story I could not put it down! It won’t win any writing awards, but should be made into a movie!
