A tenacious character with a set of values and a conscience. A very good read. Couldn't put it down!" Amazon Reviewer, 5 stars"Tense and captivating page turner. I really enjoyed the Heir Hunter series and am hoping for more real soon. Michael Flint is a true adventure hero every bit as good as Indiana Jones with a dose of Jack Reacher thrown in for good measure. He's highly principled, while somewhat flawed, but very loyal with a vulnerable side he'd rather keep hidden. Please Diane Capri......more, more, more!" Amazon Reviewer, 5 stars"This second book was every bit as riveting as I'd hoped for. It kept me on the edge of my seat, and I could hardly put it down. I can't wait for the third book in this series!!"
