Publisher Description

Erin McKenna, a beautiful songwriter married to a crooked Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy, is kidnapped by Benjamin Armenta, the ruthless leader of the powerful Gulf Cartel. But his demands are as unusual as the crumbling castle in which Erin is kept. She is ordered to compose a unique narcocorrido, a folk ballad that records the exploits of the drug dealers, gunrunners, and outlaws who have populated Mexican history for generations. Under the threat of death, Armenta orders Erin to tell his life story — in music — and write “the greatest narcocorrido of all time.” As the mesmerizing music and lyrics of Erin’s song cascade from the jungle hideout, they serve as a siren song to the two men who love her: her outlaw husband, Bradley Jones, and the lawman, Charlie Hood — who together have the power to rescue her. Here, amid the ancient beauty of the Yucatecan lowlands, the long-simmering rivalry between these two men will be brought closer to its explosive finale.

    " Please stop writing about Charlie Hood and get back to what you do best. Your novels are outstanding; this series is monotonous. This book was actually better than the last 2 but still a disappointment overall. Come on T. Jeff, you're better than this! "

    " This book was good right up till the end. The details and storytelling were pretty good throughout, but the ending of the book was completely unsatisfying, predictable, and blase. Otherwise, the story was interesting and fairly engaging. "

    " I'm not as big fan of the Charlie Hood series as I am of this author's other novels. I'm probably not going to read any more of them if there are others. I do think a mediocre T. Jefferson Parker book is better than most other suspense books, however. "

    " I had to stop reading this halfway through because it was just really boring. The line "come to me by moonlight, sugar" made me cringe right off the bat, and I should have followed that impulse. If you are immediately embarrassed for the author just don't read on, lesson learned. "

    " The more I read it, the less I liked it. Quit after 150 pages. Story formulaic, characters flat, dull and annoying. It didn't help that I had not read the previous Charlie Hood book, but nothing will tempt me to do so. Hugely disappointing since I have really liked many of his earlier books. "
