A quick read at a little over 200 pages, many of them skip over as they are just rehash of the story or of earlier stories.

Vincent is a reformed lawyer (sic) now doing investigative work in New Mexico. He's in love and waiting for his fiance to finally say the word so they can get married. This case involves stolen Indian artifacts, murders, writers, sheriffs, priests, lawyers, grandpas, grandkids, a cover-up, and numerous other nefarious and sundry people and events. This book is not a great work, but an interesting one that I enjoyed immensely. Read it. And I loved the epilogue. Vincent is a reformed lawyer (sic) now doing investigative work in New Mexico.

Fantastic I am a fan of the Vincent Malone books. This is the third one in the series and I am looking forward to the fourth. Can't wait to see what happens with the Ken Simpson murder and find out if wedding bells ring for Vincent and Nancy. Fantastic I am a fan of the Vincent Malone books.

This is the third book in this series and it this one was just as enjoyable as the previous two. I really like the characters and the writer's easy going style. It makes for a fairly quick read but still a lot of action and intrique. I look forward to reading another.
