Best selling author, Ron Martinelli, has crafted yet another sure to be top of the charts book in the Wade Justus, Texas Ranger series. This is by far his best book yet...In Runaway Justus, Wade's next door neighbors are devastated when their beautiful teenage daughter is kidnapped at a football game by the evil Tres Paises gang, affiliated with the Sinaloa drug and sex trafficking transnational cartel.
When the family asks Wade to rescue their daughter, he calls upon his old friends, and experts in their fields, to assist him in the task...The action is non stop, and heart-stopping adventure ensues...Fans will recognize the author's craftily woven style of bringing current events ripped from the headlines into the pages of this can't put down novel of suspense.
Though I finished it in record time, it left me wanting more......And, thankfully, there is a sequel in waiting I am saving space on my bookshelf for..

very exciting. hard to put the book down.

I know Mr. Martinelli and wasn’t aware of this fiction book series. Enjoyed the detailed way he writes about police work.

I only purchased this book because it was written by a former San Jose, Ca police officer (my hometown), my son is a police officer, and I was told that the book accurately describes the work of a police officer, detective, and CSI while solving a serial murder case in Nashville (a place which I love). ***Warning***. This book contains graphic sexual violence. I was unsure how to rate the book- it started off reminding me how my 6th graders (former teacher) would write when learning how to use adjectives. The book did get much better, but I was surprised how the victims were killed. I read the book to the end, it was good. The rising action and ending was very climatic. In the end,other than the violence, the book was pretty decent. A couple of editing errors ( language arts teacher), but I did purchase the second book, as I always support our blue families.
