The Cain File – On Dangerous Ground
The Cain File
The Quito assignment was supposed to be a milk run for Special Forensic Accounting Agent Maggie de la Cruz: just hand over the two-million-dollar payoff and get the signatures of a corrupt oil minister and two oil-company bigwigs. Then stand back while the arrests are made.
But that’s not quite how things play out. When the sting is sabotaged and Minister Beltran wants the two million anyway, Maggie says no.
Bullets start to fly. And Maggie has to run.
Back home in the U.S., licking her wounds, Maggie learns that Minister Beltran has just been kidnapped by a deadly eco-terrorist group protecting the Amazon jungle from oil drilling.
The Agency’s covert-operations section needs to send Maggie back to South America, along with Field Agent John Rae Hutchens, to rescue Beltran for, ironically, another two million.
Another milk run? Perhaps—if everyone involved doesn’t have a secret agenda.
Events continue to go off-kilter: the suspicious detainment of a field agent at Bogotá International, leaving Maggie on her own; terrorists who seem more interested in the payoff money than the cause; case handlers with shadowy links that can’t be easily explained; and worse.
And agent de la Cruz must deal with it.
Any way she can.

Cool, another Max Tomlinson book out soon. Having read his previous thrillers, I’m looking forward to his newest story. His characters and setting are real. Maybe Tomlinson is a secret agent sharing his and his comrades exploits?

As a fan of international thrillers with strong female protagonists and an interest in politically charged environmental issues, I’m looking forward to The Crying Ground. This brief synopsis takes me back to the suspenseful drama of Sendero and Who Sings to the Dead, both of which hooked me from the first chapter. I anticipate that this newest title will do the same and more. In any case, I’m sure it will take me to the Max.
