THE SACRIFICE: A Mex Anderson Novel
by Peg BrantleyPublish: Jan 14, 2014Series: Mex Anderson NovelsBook Overview
A young girl is missing. Did she run away or was she abducted?
Mex Anderson blames himself for the horrific murders of his family in a border town in Mexico. Moving to the snowy mountains of Colorado has helped, but nothing can take away his gut-wrenching pain and the depression that comes with it. When the head of the drug cartel responsible for the killings approaches him and requests Mex's help to locate his missing daughter, with an offer that would reveal the individuals behind the murders, it might lead to the one thing that would allow Mex to heal: revenge.
“Peg Brantley’s latest, THE SACRIFICE, accomplishes that rare feat of being both heartfelt and suspenseful. A gripping tale of murder and revenge, it ultimately becomes something much, much more. — Dennis Palumbo, author of the Daniel Rinaldi mystery series
“Peg Brantley has done it again. Her third book (after THE MISSINGS and RED TIDE) is another thrill ride, a hyperventilation-inducing thriller about evil and power and endangered innocence. And MAYBE a new (and very interesting) sustaining female character. Mex Anderson may have companionship in the next book or two.”
—Timothy Hallinan, Edgar-nominated author of the Poke Rafferty and Junior Bender series
***THE SACRIFICE was a finalist for two Colorado literary awards in 2014.***
