John Locke #2
Lockestep
Professional bodyguard John Locke is in no mood to babysit Greg Amadeo, a drug dealer turncoat who wants to visit his wife in Mexico, collect some cash, and settle debts before testifying in the States, but how can Locke pass up the warm climate, lovely ladies, and a quick buck? Amadeo has a trick up his sleeve that may cause Locke to come back in a body bag if he does not use all the skills he learned in the British army’s SAS elite corps.
With an appreciation for the more civilized aspects of life, Locke finds the fishing village, Zihuatanejo, right up his alley with two of his favorite things, fine women and tasty food, but there are just too many bullets flying around for Locke’s peace of mind.

John Locke, professional bodyguard, returns with another tricky job. This time he's guarding a drug baron returning to Mexico with unfinished business in exchange for his testimony against others higher up in the drug world. Unfortunately, no one (other than Locke) seems to be who they appear in this tale of backstabbing, turncoats, and danger. A few characters are likable in the novel, but readers cheering for Locke may feel apprehensions many times.
I'll be reading the next in the series. This volume was written in the 1980s, with perspectives of the time. Barnao also writes as mystery writer Ted Wood, too, but the styles of the two series are definitely different. The style of writing, however, is still easy to read.
