Another fast paced chapter in the life of El Rey, a world class assassin.It appears that maybe El Rey has retired until he is enticed to take on one more job for the head of the Sinaloa drug cartel. His job: Assassinate the newly elected president of Mexico. Once again his adversary is Captain Cruz of the Mexican State Police.A couple of the paragraphs late in the novel remind me very much of Frederick Forsyth's Day of the Jackal. After reading that, I reflected on the character and drew my own parallel to the Forsyth character. Blake doesn't disappoint in drawing his similarities and in some cases improves upon them.All in all a good read for anyone who enjoys action thrillers.
