Second in the Jim Knighthorse series,The Mummy Case (Jim Knighthorse Series #2)is another great character-driven story that I really enjoyed. Girlfriend Cindy Darwin, a professor of anthropology at UCI, and Detectives Hanson and Sanchez from the first story return. Jack (God) is apparently absent.Never far from the surface is Knighthorse's investigation into the cold case death of his own mother making it evident that this really is the key to this trilogy of Knighthorse tales.Knighthorse is hired by a local huckster, Jones T. Jones, to investigate the death of a student historian whom Jones had hired to give credibility to an anonymous mummy corpse famous in local lore.J. R. Rain expertly builds on this series, creating characters that I what to know and follow along. Cocky, flawed yet lovable, Jim Knighthorse, the rugged athlete that could have played professional football but was smart enough to want to purse something more meaningful, is a modern detective everyman. The story is engaging and I recommend it.
