Goodreads Summary:
NYPD Detective Jeremy Fisk must make an uneasy ally - the disturbingly beautiful and assertive Mexican Intelligence Agency Detective Cecilia Garza. She recognizes the signature of assassin Chuparosa - a hummingbird carved on a corpse. After years of pursuit, she knows only that he is heading to Manhattan - with the rest of the world for UN Week.
Ten days after the Mexican presidential election, 23 bodies were found beheaded on the US border, each carved by Chuparosa. Near New York, Rockaway has a mass murder. There is more to this threat than meets the eye — and justice is not always blind.
My Thoughts:
This is the second book in the Jeremy Fisk Series and like the first I enjoyed the read. This book had more blood and intense moments than the first so that is just a heads up, there are A LOT of really bloody scenes in this book.
I didn't have a problem with all the blood, it really did help set up what was happening and why. I liked the Garza character even though she was a bit clichéd. I think sometimes clichés exist for a reason and actually work for a story. She has to be the bitch to get respect from her peers in the Mexican Intelligence Agency.
We do see snap shots of her softer side, just as we see the softer vulnerable side of Jeremy Fisk as he tries to heal from what happened to him in the first Fisk book. These characters are really human but have enough originality to them that they can and do surprise you at the end.
I would recommend this book to fans of Tom Clancy and similar writers. These books has a distinctive male voice, but not overly macho so they are not off putting to female readers. As I previously mentioned there is a lot of blood in this book while exploring the Chuparosa character so if you can't handle stories with cold blooded killers I would suggest skipping this one.
While writing this review I was listening to CBS This Morning, I totally have a crush on Charlie Rose.
