Review: It's been a year since the murder of Ward's dad and Ward's accident. He had been framed for manslaughter by the same group of people who had murdered his dad. His relationship with the woman he loved, Carrie Hope, had broken but one day she shows up wanting to write a book on the North Beach Project which was exactly what Ward and his father had gotten into before they were both either killed or scared away from it. However, Carrie had no fears of the situation and decided to go on with the book and investigation without him. Ward decided that he would need to use his "gift" to help protect her from the horrible people involved in this who will surely be after her when she starts digging into the situation again. Soon, they find themselves on a world wide adventure as they become the target of the most dangerous assassin in the western hemisphere -- Culebre.
I enjoyed this book. I found out that it is the sequel to Webster's debut novel, In-Sight, which I have not read. However, this book fills the reader in on what happened pretty well. I am easily confused and I even followed. This story was well written and once I made it through the "filling in" at the beginning it moved right along and kept me on the edge of my seat. It was a fun read with plot lines twisting all over the place. Loved it!
Author: I didn't find much on him but here is what his website said, "Catholic Author, Gerard Webster, has been a Peace Corps volunteer, a soldier, a businessman, and an addictions counselor. Most of all: he’s a husband to his wife, Anne, and a father to their 5 children. He lives with his wife in Jacksonville, Florida." You can find more information on him and his books here.
Rating: **** Four Stars
