Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
It’s frustrating for local law enforcement to come up against a piece of scum like Newton Glover. He’s dirty as hell, everyone knows that—breaks into and vandalizes his neighbors’ homes; cheats and steals from everyone; folks suspect he deals drugs and porn. He’s even killed a man and gotten away with it. He gets away with all of it, hinting that he has a secret government background and that he’s “protected” by the Powers That Be. Glover may finally have gone too far. He’s suspected of kidnapping a young teenage boy to use for child porn and a pedophile sex-ring. There’s no proof, but this time, Albuquerque police are determined to nail Glover to the wall. Lee Nez, a Navajo state police officer, and Diane Lopez, an FBI agent, go undercover in Glover’s trailer park. Lee and Diane find that their growing attraction for each other is heightened by their posing as husband and wife, but do not allow that to distract them from their mission. They soon learn that not long ago, Glover’s neighbors tried to take the law into their own hands—they dragged Glover from his home and beat him to death, leaving him in a shallow grave. To everyone’s shock, a few days later Glover reappeared with not a mark on him. Lee and Diane are no strangers to the supernatural—Lee is a Navajo vampire and Diane’s last FBI partner was killed by a werewolf. Whatever Glover is, they’ll deal with it.When a second child goes missing and clues link her to Glover, Lee and Diane know they are running out of time. Glover may be some kind of un-dead, but soon those children will be really dead, or worse.

I don't think this was good an effort as the previous books, but still is good for the series. This outing Lee Nez and his girlfriend,Diane Lopez, also an FBI agent, go undercover to rescue a boy who was kidnapped and to thwart a man who is a mean sonofagun, and is delving into illegal stuff, porn, drugs, etc. The battle starts between Nez, Diane, and this guy Glover. They provoke Glover and he retaliates time and time again. There isn't much of Indian folklore in this outing, which I miss. Nor is there much vamp stuff, other than Lee's night vision, speed, and quick healing. No calf blood around.
This book may not pop like others, but strengthens the bond between Lee and Diane.

Good read. This addition to the series depends more on police work than on the supernatural; and while I'm happy with both, I did feel the Thurlos were on more solid footing in their writing here. Maybe they should continue in this style. I'm game!

I've been following this series since they came out and out of the four books already out this one was the slowest one when it came to action and fights. The way the main characters relationship has been played was well done, but the book overall left me wanting for something that wasn't there...maybe subsequent one.

One of the advantages of being a half-vampire working for the New Mexico State Police is that Lee Nez's powers make it easier for him to work a case. Lee and his sometimes partner FBI special agent Diana Lopez are able to solve a case quicker with less danger to civilians. After busting men on various charges that are connected to a senator, Lee and Diane are advised to get out of the area for a while. They are assigned to take down Newton Glover a man who has intimidated the East Mountain area and is suspected of various crimes.
It is believed he has authorities in various agencies working for him so Lee and Diana move into the trailer across the way from his pretending to be tough criminals. When Lee sees him watching them through surveillance, he breaks the man's windshield in the hope that Newton will try to get even and they will have something to arrest him on. They are also investigating the disappearances of ten year old Tim Klein who Grover might have kidnapped. When Newton tries to kill Lee, with Diane as a witness, Newton knows he will have to murder both of them before they can get obtain evidence to put him away.
The Latest Lee Nez combination horror mystery police procedural is a reading experience on the wild side with so many adrenaline inducing scenes that readers will feel thoroughly spoiled. The Thurlos have a take on the vampire mythos based on Navaho legends and myths and Lee is so unlike Bram Stoker's Dracula that the two characters don't resemble each other in the slightest. Lee is one hero who makes his life and his to keep the area he patrols safe. Diana, who knows what Lee is, loves him because he is a good man who works for the good of society.
