Suspense
Jack Bertolino is a retired NYPD cop living in LA trying
to
start a new career as a private investigator. BLOND CARGO
starts out with him working his current case which has a
few
exciting glitches but overall goes well and he is off to a
great start.
As he is basking in the results of his victory, mob boss
and mad man Vincent Cardona comes to him with a request.
Only it's not a request, Jack owes Vincent and knew one
day
he would come asking for a favor and Jack would have no
choice.
Vincent's daughter is missing and he wants Jack to find
her. Jack takes the case and along with his associates
Mateo, Cruz and Nick, a police officer, they discover a
world where drugs, guns and women are sold like an
everyday
commodity.
As time runs out Jacks life and the lives of everyone near
him are placed in danger. He must find Angelica before she
is sold into a harem in the Middle East and never seen
again.
BLOND CARGO has great action from page one. A definite
page
turner that keeps you glued as you follow the ins and out
of the investigation to catch the culprits. Jack, Cruz,
Mateo and Nick are a group of talented and driven men that
work together like a well oiled machine. I even liked the
mobster Vincent; his love for his daughter was sincere
even
when he was cutting off peoples fingers.
BLOND CARGO is the second Jack Bertolino book by John
Lansing and he has created such a compelling character and
group of people that I see lots of great stories in the
future. Jack isn't afraid to get his hand dirty and kick
some butt to accomplish his goals and he has a good heart
and compassionate side, when he's not shooting at people.
John Lansing's BLOND CARGO reminds you why you love to
read.
