JP Warner and Gwen Delaney head to Savannah, Georgia for a much needed vacation. But it turns out to be anything but relaxing when, while dining out, JP spots a man from his past. Thinking his eyes are playing tricks on him, he returns later that night, only to find the restaurant on fire and the manager dead inside.It is thought to be connected to a drug deal gone wrong, but JP knows they're dealing with something much bigger. He and Gwen are dragged into a century-old conspiracy and forced to face off with one of the most powerful families in the country. It turns into a race against time, with all roads leading to the Confederate Gold.
If you love a good mystery, adventure and a little romance then this is a great choice. JP Warner is a well seasoned journalist and somehow always finds himself thrown into the middle of one adventure after another along with his girlfriend and 2 sidekicks. This one takes us on the road to visit JP's parents who just moved to Savannah, Ga. It's Christmas Eve and the entire family is out for dinner and JP sees someone he recognizes and the story takes off from there.
I truly enjoy Mr. Ciccone's work and I can't imagine any reader not liking the JP Warner series. Since it's always best to start at the beginning I would suggest you start with the first book in the series and I am sure you would not be disappointed.
The intrigue left off several chapters before ending, thus the intensity was not there. I prefer stories that end, but this became a big wrapped up finish with too much ribbon.
