Operation: Just Cause #4
Prayer Drum
From award-winning and best-selling author David Edward comes Prayer Drum, a new Dirk Lasher edge-of-your-seat actioner.
Kimberly Sharp is a high-functioning sociopath. Or is she? Maybe there is another explanation for her ruthless and brutal rise to power as one of Central America's most cold-blooded mafiosos. She claims to be touched by God and that she can use prayers to bring about her will.
When Dirk Lasher hesitantly decides to follow her into the dangerous, uncharted territory on the Panama-Colombia border called the Dorian Gap, he learns that all may very well not be as it seems.
Are her claims nonsense? Is there more to her story?
Between the approaching hurricane, indigenous head hunters, ticking clock, and never before discovered secret ancient ruins, it will be a lot of work to get answers. Mix in Soviet Special Forces Commando Karmén Mason using the opportunity to take his final revenge, and Lasher may just have discovered survival can come at a price too high to be paid.
Has he allowed sex, money, and power to corrupt his judgment? Is there even such a thing as the artifact they seek, the Drum of God? Can Sharp still be trusted?

OMG. I'm not sure what happened, but I just finished one of the best books I've ever read. It was Raider of the Lost Ark if Michael Bay made it. And damn if I didn't almost cry at the end. This is such an unexpected but brilliant turn to the series that I am near speechless.

Another phenomenal thriller from acclaimed author, David Edward. It will grab your attention from the first page and won't let go. If you're new to the series, I suggest you start at the beginning with Panama Red and continue with the rest of the series. You won't be sorry.

Not my usual read
This book held me from page one. It's what makes a top notch thriller. I can't wait to read another Dirk Lawyer thriller.

Not as good as first three.
Was real hard to finish this one. Stopped reading it three times and as most dumped it. Will give the next one a try soon - not recommending this one
