Liffey's characteris evolving in interestng true ways and Shannon's witticisms and insights proke thought and laughter. All in southern California. No fire or earthquakes tis time. Just some terrorists and drug lords to deal with. A good and puzzling ending as well. Though slow in a couple parts and why he said good-bye to the Rhodesian woman I don't know. He should have kept them both. Look forward to the next read. ( ) no reviews | add a review

HTML: In the sixth novel of this best-selling private-eye series, Jack Liffey probes the complex ethnic mix—Muslim, Jewish, Baha'i, Christian, and secular—of the Persian communities in Los Angeles. A gripping tale that confronts youthful idealism with perfervid fundamentalism, it lands bright, earnest Fariborz Bayat, who has gone missing from an elite L.A. high school with three other Persian-American boys, in a cell of Arab terrorists. Hired to find the boys, Liffey finds himself in a nightmare, unless he and Fariborz can thwart the cell's plot to set off a dirty bomb full of radioactive waste high over L.A. .No library descriptions found. |
