Thriller Legal
Short Straw reintroduces Santa Fe lawyer Ed Eagle,
who first appeared in Stuart Woods's 1992 thriller,
Santa Fe Rules. In his first adventure, Ed fell in love
with the seductive Barbara Kennerly, and married her-
against his better judgment.
Turns out that Ed should have listened to his intuition.
Ed Eagle awakens the morning after his fortieth birthday
to find that Barbara has vanished, and Ed's money-from his
business, his bank, and his brokerage accounts-has been
wired to the Cayman Islands. Barbara, it appears, had
drugged his birthday wine, neatly cleaned him out and then
fled to Mexico, from where she can't be extradited. And as
if that weren't bad enough, when Ed arrives at work that
morning he discovers that he's been assigned a new client
who looks like nothing but trouble-Joe Big Bear, a part-
time mechanic charged with a triple homicide. Ed hires two
slightly shady investigators to search for his wife. But
when they track Barbara down in Puerto Vallarta, they
discover that Joe Big Bear may also be embroiled in
Barbara's plot. Ed soon finds himself caught in a scheme
that is much more far reaching-and deadly-than anyone
would have expected.
