Description
A circus-performer-turned-PI and his ex-cop brother rescue a girl from a doomsday cult in this novel of "terrific suspense" and "unlimited imagination" (Publishers Weekly). With a genius IQ, a past career as a circus acrobat, and a black belt in karate, criminology professor Dr. Robert Frederickson-better known as "Mongo the Magnificent"-has a decidedly unusual background for a private investigator. He also just so happens to be a dwarf. Mongo and his brother, Garth, have left their day jobs show more as a professor and a cop, respectively, and formed their own PI firm, Frederickson & Frederickson. It's a great reason to celebrate this holiday season, but when their annual tradition of picking up a few letters to Santa from the post office to fulfill the Christmas wishes of needy children reveals a sinister secret, their cheer is replaced with a yearning for justice. As the brothers race to save a little girl from a religious doomsday cult, they'll get up close and personal with a murderous zealot bent on the eradication of all mankind-preferably before the New Year . . . Second Horseman Out of Eden is the 7th book in the Mongo Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. show lessTags
