Mr. Wallace has written a superb action-thriller.  Every time I thought I knew where he was heading, he surprised me. His characters were believable and as I got deeper into the story, I worried and fretted about them.  The story starts with Wes, who has a fear for his brother in a care facility.  As the story progesses, Wes learns he has no idea just how many family secrets there are, and that everyone he knows seems to have their own dark agenda. What can a road buiding company, the care facility, and a long-ago diving accident have in common?  As his boss, Becca, teams with him to resolve the twisted leads to find out the truth, they go from distrust to learning to trust each other without question.  Who is the brutal murderer?  What is the truth to what happened to Uncle Davis years ago that is causing so much murder now?  The tie-in with Chad and the story line from the Count of Monte Cristo was wonderful.  Chad was a prisoner in his own very much alive mind, but how can he let others know he was still "alive"?  Imagine what he had to endure all those years, and how awful to know he couldn't tell his story.  Mr. Wallace was able to include the beauty of Costa Rica, the strength of the characters, and the darkness that seemed to infect so many who thought they had power over others.  Overall this book was a lesson in how greed and business can corrupt, and how a few people can made a difference when they are fighting for others. I started this book and had trouble putting it down.  Excellent story, Mr. Wallace.  Please continue writing!
