This should really be made into a Netflix movie or the like as it had me turning pages like wildfire. I enjoy stories where detectives, cops, or whatever has "ties" with the mafia or owes favors like here because you know it's gonna be a pure thriller. Blond Cargo didn't disappoint and had quite a few nice twists tossed in. Loved It!
When I first read the synopsis of this book, like you might just have done, the word sequel stood out to me. But since the story sounded like something I would enjoy, I hoped that it was a book that the author would enlighten the reader of info from the first book when needed and he did. I never felt that I was "lost"
Words that came to mind while reading BLOND CARGO: excitement, non-stop action, adrenaline pumping, page turning adventure, heart pounding pace, and sometimes even a bit of humor.
Jack Bertolino, former LAPD and now PI is "paying back a favor" for mobster Vincent Cardona, to find his missing daughter. But it's not your average "missing person" case. Drugs, Sex trade, Mafia, Family, Children, Relationships, Exes, Contract hits, Action packed.
This was the first time I read anything by this author and I was hooked by the first chapter. By the third chapter, because of his amazing ability with the written word, my visual creation and the adrenaline that was pumping faster than my eyes could absorb, until the final page, Mr. Lansing was added to my "authors to read" list. I will definitely be picking up the first in this series, THE DEVIL'S NECKTIE and hopefully there is a 3rd.
Do I recommend this author and/or this book? If you like action? Then the answer is absolutely!!
When you get the LAPD, the Mafia, Arab sex and drug traffickers together in one book you can be sure of a pacy thrilling read... and that's what you get in Blond Cargo. A wide cast of characters that are believable just makes it all the more captivating.
