Almost end of the world: safe hideaway ranch, drug cartels, brother as a sort of wild mystic (revealed as white not native which is kind of a cheat), sister is the type A trying to save the ranch from the tax man/bankers.

And the kitchen sink.

Most interesting character is nyc accountant who stumbles into the plot. And the big white dog.

Three or five or seven themes makes confusion.

Better read if author would choose one or two as all the conflicts would make good books but switching back and forth and up and down made me wonder what exactly he’s trying to say.

Ps love Robert Crais.
