Over the Border and into Twilight
Tell Me Where They've Gone: book 3, in Patrick Logan's Striker and Frost FBI Thriller series gets down and dirty. Mostly set in Mexico, the most unnerving part is that the laws, or lack thereof, are so alien to an American reader that it is hard to foresee the next move.
Although Constantine Striker is no longer affiliated with the FBI due to his actions in his previous case, he remains heavily involved in the resolution of his past and continues to watch over Agent Alex Frost. However, since he sold his mother's house and the loss of his job, he's been steadily drinking and now lives out of his car.
Frost discovers Con's situation when she realizes that her bestie Tori has not returned from her Cancun vacation on time and no one seems to be able to satisfactorily explain why. The tension ramps up quickly as Frost finds out why Con is such a mess and the two of them decide upon a plan to find Tori.
***Trigger Warning***
From here to the end of the book, multiple scenes of graphic violence, sexual violence, cannibalism, and other very dark topics are present.
Logan packs a whallop of lip-biting, eye-scrunching, hyperventilating in distress, and downright unbearable combinations of state-side law enforcement vs. la Federales vs. the worst of the Mexican Cartels.
I kept thinking I'd read the worst of it, but, no! Logan just had to keep pushing further.
Tell Me Where They've Gone is a fascinating Thriller. It connects many hanging plotlines from previous books and lays out one jaw-dropping cliffhanger of an ending. I was thoroughly entertained, a little grossed out, and relieved to reach the end. Except for the cliffhanger, which will make me obsessively read the next book. Good stuff.
