“I read Deadly Kalimantan over the weekend and could not put it down.” – Bob Maynard. Belview, CO
“A really good adventure. Once you begin reading, you don’t put this story down as you want to discover how and why it happened and how it ends.” – Rafael San Juan, retired educator and social activist. Chicago, IL
Deadly Triangle written by the author Charles Glenn is the first book by the author that I have read. Steve Hartshorn is my favorite character from the story. Struggling with jobs in his career, Steve became a private investigator. He worked with his good friend Abe Schaeffer from the Mexico police department.
Soon, we find Steve investigating the case of Dominican-based gringo dealing drugs named Iguana. Pacheco Ramirez started earning money quite early in his life. He is thirty now and he wants to live his life without being anyone's subordinate. His boss gringo couldn't bear this and he didn't allow Pacheco to do a new business in Mexico. He threatened to kill him if Pacheco tried to be oversmart. This way Iguana's way of keeping Pacheco working for him.
Things became interesting when Steve was hired to investigate the drugs dealing in Mexico. The story took a turn when Officer Abe Schaeffer ended up with a bullet from Iguana. Get your hands on this book to unveil what happens next.
I enjoyed the plot twists in the story. The backdrop setting is done well by the author. The story is well paced and I wasn't bored anytime while reading this book. The author has written the characters well. It's a book worth reading.
I love reading crime thrillers. This time, I got my hands on Charles Glenn's book 'Deadly Triangle'. The story features Steve Hartshorn. Football was his passion. After an injury, he couldn't pursue a career in footballing and had to settle for a sitting job. Steve landed as a private investigator.
He started working on cases with his soul brother Abe Schaeffer. Also, the realization of his love feelings towards Marie Fredrickson came late. Steve wasn't sure about Marie because she was cross eyed. Later, he realized that it's too late since she already got married to his soul brother.
Abe is a cop in the Albuquerque Police Department. It was funny to read about the story when Steve caught the wrong target and the target tied him to the chair and interrogated him. Dealing with dangerous people is not easy. When Steve would be assigned to investigate the case of Iguana, things would get difficult for him and Abe.
The narration is smooth and strong. I was totally pulled into this story. The cover photo is lovely. The author has done fantastic work in this book. I am interested in exploring more of his books. The story is full of action. Crime fiction fans should get their hands on this book.

I’m anxiously awaiting the release of Charlie’s next adventure! (After reading his first two books I feel like I know Mr. Glenn well enough to call him Charlie!) His style of writing keeps me engaged throughout the book. Twists, turns, adventure, emotion enough to make me want to read more. Soon please!
I thought it was a refreshing take on crime fiction, with exotic locations and plots. There was a lot of observational humor through out. Best of all action and murder and plot twist. A fun read I wonder if he has other books?
