When his new job relocates him to Venezuela–the land of his childhood–things, however, take an ominous turn as a catastrophic event threatens the stability of the country.

My Thoughts
In this action packed murder/mystery book, we learn bits and pieces of the main character named Eric Caine. A war on terror veteran who wakes up in a hospital not knowing what has happened to him for the past 8 days. Since becoming a veteran of war, Caine has had post traumatic stress disorder and it isn’t unusual for him to wake up with nightmares and cold sweats. When he wakes up in the hospital, he finds out that his car was found wrapped around a tree, yet he has no idea how this happened.

With its compelling plot, we follow Caine to Venezuela, where he finds a “killer” job, a possible love, and mystery on every page. It definitely had me on the edge of my seat and yearning to read more! To be honest, it sort of reminded me of the “Bourne” series from a few years ago ~ filled with spies, CIA, foreign governments, chase scenes and more.

There is a ton of action, and even some killing, but this book overcomes some of the more gruesome scenes with it’s compelling plot. It has such a great storyline that you were kept guessing at every turn what the main character, Eric Caine, was going to do next.

As Henry Mosquera’s first book, I believe he has started out his writing career with a great read. This incredible story of a super intelligent former military man who is trying to save himself by figuring out a big conspiracy. I am definitely looking forward to a possible sequel! The only thing I didn’t like about the book was the use of graphic language (please be aware of that).
