Once again, Robert Fate sweeps us off into Kristin van Dijk's world - the Texas of the mid-50s. By now, she's a licensed private investigator, probably the first of her time, and she is working with Otis Millett, who helped her and Henry Chin find the murderous biker gang in the first installment, Baby Shark.

Only this time around, the two are not searchign for bad guys who abused and harmed Kristin or one of their friends, this time they have to search for Sherry - once again, as we soon learn - a soon-to-be wealthy heiress. In the past, they easily found Sherry and returned her to her guardian, but now the case is a lt more complicated and twisted.

They soon free Sherry from the drug-selling thugs that captured her, but how did she get in their hands? What is real and who tells the truth? Those are only a few of the questions that constantly pop up in front of Kristin and Otis - and Fate manages to pull it off without the reader having a feeling of déjà vu - or more like a déjà lu...

Once you have read the first book, you won't want to hold out for this - and the good thing is, there's more! Baby Shark's High Plains Redemption has been out since last year.
