The Drum: Camaro Espinoza #3
Camaro Espinoza has found a place for herself in the wintering forests of lake country, carrying a new name and living a new life far from what has come before. But all is not perfect in the little haven of Blackwell, Minnesota. Across the border is a house of drink and women and violence they call the Drum, and it grinds up the weak and the innocent as well as the damned. A place like that is a magnet for people like Camaro, especially when justice seems the hardest thing to find.

In the third of this series of novellas, we find Camaro living in a log cabin in the backwoods of Minnesota, near the Canadian border. She seems to have found some kind of peace but you just know it can't last. When Cody, the kid that helps Camaro with odd jobs about her place, gets beaten up she just has has to find out what happened and this leads her to the Drum.
The writing is lean and spare as usual and we get lulled into a false sense of security as Camaro seems to have at last found somewhere where she can settle down. However the action, when it comes, is brutal and although it seems as though she goes over the top, she has to do this so as to leave no loose ends and in order to try and to preserve her anonymity.
This reading experience is a bit like watching your favourite TV programme, in that when the current episode finishes, you can't wait to see what happens next. I was also intrigued by the taster for the next novella, in that it described an episode from Camaro's past and wondered if this is just a flashback or are we going to get a novella based on her Army career ? We'll just have to wait and see I guess !

Love the Camaro Series! Just finished #3 and can't wait for #4!.This is a great action packed story that has kept me glued to every page. A high octane thriller, on the run chase that will keep your blood pressure rising. After reading Dead Women of Juarez and Tequila Sunset Sam Hawken is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors.
