Murder in Mexico #8
Identity Crisis
It’s a backwards kind of case for the Paul Zacher Agency. Naming the culprit is easy, but what’s the crime? And why is Paul’s old nemesis, Antonio Trujillo (Brushwork) on the streets again? Life was so much simpler without him.
When the kinky tastes of a state governor open the door to an environmental disaster of cosmic proportions, Paul Zacher and his friends come up against a sinister conspiracy of government and industrial plotters. When they launch their secret weapon at Paul personally, a diminutive blonde with spiky hair and impossibly short skirts, Maya takes the field with deadly results.
It’s vintage Zacher from start to unpredictable finish in this Murder in México mystery #8

The case seems bizarre, yet intriguing
A man fell asleep, car accident
Which require reconstruction of face
Parts burn so hands were burned
Where is the car, paid car and gone
Worked on his own mostly so no
One could vouch for him
Then murdered happened
Unusual and how they figured it out
Corruption to the hilt, enjoyed

This one was really crazy. It had so many twists,I couldn't keep up. It had a pretty high body count. Glad Trillion is dead.

I love Mexico
Mexico is real. Inhabited by real people. These stories are enjoyable......and remind me fondly of all the trips to a truly great nation. Read the series from the beginning and enjoy. For me.....on to volume 9.
