"I know there was a problem with the mine at Snakewater," said Jade. "It wasn't as profitable as Dad thought it should be, and he sent Stan up to investigate."
"And what did Stan say?" asked Spider.
"I don't know. He never came back. The police say that he got on the plane to come home, but he never picked up his luggage when he landed. He disappeared."
Something is fishy at Brick Termain Enterprises, and Spider Latham has been hired to figure it out. Did the regional manager run off, or did something more sinister happen to him?
This is the first Spider Latham mystery that I've read, but it won't be my last. I really enjoyed this book. It is quite a page turner - from the very first page! Liz Adair does an excellent job of giving you the background for the characters that you need to know - then pulls you right in to the story. I didn't feel like I had missed anything by starting on this book instead of a previous one. I also appreciated how she made the story twist and turn - so much so - that I thought I had it all figured out by the time I got to the end. Boy, was I wrong! If you enjoy a good mystery - you will love this book!
