This was a great yarn. I read it quickly and can't wait to read the next books in the series. Love the humor, pacing, and Colt's style. Not many wasted words. The story keeps moving and begging you to finish.One oddity is that the book was written in 2013, and did not claim to be set in any particular year in the past, which initially led me to believe it was set in 2013. However, the noticeable lack of smartphones (e.g., as Colt wrote down every contact in someone's cellphone instead of taking screenshots, and continual reliance on computers for internet access, as two of about 7-8 such examples I noted), coupled with the Marlins-Yankees World Series references (which ultimately became clear that they were real references), evidenced that it was the year of Liven Hernandez,1997.  I just found it odd that the author never made it clear the story was set in '97, but that's an interesting sidebar, not a big deal. Terrific mystery.
