Cash Mountain - a review by Rosemary Kenny.
A note from a former comrade-in-arms sets Jack Reacher's Treasury enforcer elder brother Joe, on a hunt, in an international money-laundering cold case, in Dan Ames' Cash Mountain.
Helped by a colleague, Ivy, the trail becomes complicated and dangerous. Joe's military background makes him able to cope with violence and dealing with killers who would end him and anyone he reaches out to.
It's action-packed thrills all the way and the good guys are sure to win through, no matter what, in the end.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Dan Ames delivers once again a fantastic tight and well told story. Joe Reacher is investigating a case of fraud when suddenly he finds out that an old friend is dead. He takes a trip to look into it and finds out it was far from natural and suddenly he is involved in a life or death situation. Cash Mountain is the 6th adventure with Joe, a Reacher that finally got his own series. There is a lot of similarities with his more famous brother but ther's also a lot of differences. Joe is far from as extreme like his brother but the values ar there. I can't say enough good things about this author, he is the master of short novels and he has written something for everyone. If you like to read series and have a hard time waiting for the next one this is one storyteller to check out.

Love the Joe Reacher books. The stories are always exciting with incredible twists and turns. You never know where you are going next. When Joe receives just a key with a cryptic note in an envelope from an old friend, the adventure begins, especially when he finds out the friend has been murdered. Why a key and why his friend? Someone is killing to protect a secret that has been hidden for years and years. Once again the reader is drawn into the story from the first paragraph to the last with Joe and Ivy in the middle of it. Highly recommend this series and really looking forward to the next.

Another great addition to this series with Joe and Ivy on the hunt for whose behind the latest fraud case. For Joe, it starts with a note he receives from a guy he knew from when he worked in Army intelligence. Ivy gets involved after Joe told her about a company that was registered in Hamilton, Bermuda but with no listed employees, just a law firm.
Both Joe and Ivy pull at the threads until they learn what is really happening. There's plenty of action, danger, suspense, and twists until the bad guys are taken care of.

Joe Reacher’s Finest Hour !
Great story. Dan Ames entered the Reacher ‘universe’ with Lee Child’s permission when writing stories about Jack’s associates who carried on the Reacher tradition of ‘always doing the right thing and closing a case’.
Dan’s follow-on-series staring Jack’s brother, Joe, just reached the drama, character depth, pace and great endings in Cash Mountain that he delivered in the Universe series.
I have read Child’s for 15 years and Ames for 8. There are none better.

The title of this book certainly had me wondering why somebody bothered naming a mountain ...Cash Mountain.
Really?
Yet it actually makes sense as the plot unfolds.
A man died. Horribly too. In a smallish town. And nobody knew why.
Then Joe Reacher got involved as the dead man was a friend of his.
And the reason gradually unfolds as a massive scam is laid bare.
Author Dan Ames once again confirms himself as a top mystery thriller writer with very surprising and original plots. Small wonder I smile so wide at each new release.
Enjoy
