Max Austin, former FBI agent, has brought all his
experience and expertise to work in his capacity as a PI. A
friend's son is accused of the murder of one of his
partners in Securegard, a company selling security to
commercial and government groups. Max is called in to solve
the murder or, at the very least, gain his friend's son's
release.
The coroner determines the cause of death to be curare, but
there was no one close enough to deliver the deadly poison
in the form required. Max begins a race to get to the
remaining partners before the murderer does.
Max travels from one section of the country to the other
trailing the murderer and trying to fit all the bits and
pieces together. Is he being followed, or is he being
observed by some higher power? Max questions just who or
what that someone is who stays one step ahead of him. And
how far will that someone go to prevent him from putting
those bits and pieces together?
Bouton brings back memories of the Mickey Spillane
mysteries with MAX UNLOCKS THE UNIVERSE. He's a guest in
your head telling a story. It's very fast, sometimes
complicated and not a simple read because it asks something
of the reader. The author has an amazing skill with
description and can put you anywhere he wants you. I like
this one even better than the first book in this series,
MAX CONQUERS THE COSMOS.
