Line of Sin: Deputy Corus Mystery #3
An undercover crime and espionage thriller of FBI infiltration, international smuggling and false identities. Odd-couple teamwork, captivity and a dangerous mission push the Corus Pathfinder Thrillers into darker territory.
A false identity. A smuggling empire. A mission that cuts dangerously close to home.
Barely three weeks after the calamitous events on Tanner Farm, Corus is harboring mixed feelings about his role in what transpired there and trying to keep his head down at 3rd Precinct.
But the shadowy figures operating through Walla Walla want to know more about who he is and, more importantly, who he really works for. The FBI shows up with old scores to settle and a curious interest in the case.
It turns out Deputy Albert Chu bears a striking resemblance to an enigmatic and presumed-deceased figure, el Remora, the man who formed the lucrative Taipei route in which Tanner Farm played a key role.
The FBI sends Chu into enemy territory, posing as el Remora’s son and claiming a piece of his father’s business, with Corus by his side and a path leading straight to the smuggling organization’s leadership.
Together, they plunge into the heart of the operation, where volatile internal relationships boil over at the worst possible time, leaving Corus and Chu fighting for their lives and later imprisoned aboard a cargo vessel heading for Asia.
In the quiet moments, Corus comes to believe his noblest virtues—bravery and sacrifice—have been co-opted by a darker force inside him, leading him across a line of sin. He must root out the cause before it hurts everyone and everything he loves.
But before that journey can begin in earnest, he and Chu must avoid watery graves using odd-couple teamwork, wit and tenacity, while Corus finally severs the menacing strands keeping him moored to his past.
Line of Sin is book three in the Corus Pathfinder Thrillers, an action-led crime series blending military instincts, law enforcement and morally complicated justice. Expect undercover deception, FBI intrigue, international smuggling and the sharp, unconventional partnership between

Interesting mystery. I liked the characters, the plot and the images of the setting. The ending is spectacular and it is set up well with the story line. One needs to read the novels in sequence to see the character development.

Three down. Where's four?
This series start with a seeming oddball who will never got into the mold. Mayhem seems to be the order of his day. He is still the oddball, but there's great reason to growing perception what's going down. I'm waiting for four.
