Produktbeschreibung

From the author of The Rules of Wolfe, shortlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger Award

'Hold on to your hats. The Wolfe family saga continues in Blake's newest Border Noir... An action-packed story of family loyalties with some surprisingly sentimental undertones' - Kirkus Reviews

In the newest Wolfe-family adventure from James Carlos Blake, Rudy and Frank Wolfe are engaging in routine miscellaneous business-some legitimate and some less so-for their family when they stumble upon a stash of high-quality pornographic films in a raid. The plot thickens when their Aunt Catalina, the family matriarch aged 115, recognizes her long-lost sister in one of the young performers. Catalina tasks the boys with tracking the girl down, however improbable a connection may be.

This proves to be no simple task. Soon, Rudy and Frank find themselves moving away from world of porn and towards the upper echelons of the Sinaloa drug cartel, where the mysterious woman has become a particular favorite of the head narco. For their aunt, the woman, and themselves, Frank and Rudy must find a way to get her out without alerting the cartel. A tropical storm complicates their quest, but their sprawling family may save them from this obstacle, too.

Often outrageous and always entertaining, the Wolfes are not to be missed.
