A Price for a Major Crook W Earl Daniels

Retired army colonel Huxton "Huck" Price solved his first case in the thriller A Price for a Penny. He's back in a suspenseful mystery about a missing aviator, a beautiful woman, and a drug kingpin intent on saving his brother from a life behind bars.



Huck and his partner, retired CIA agent Cedric Smart, have been hired by Jane Reynolds to find her missing fiancé, US Army aviator Major W. T. Crook. Crook told Jane he was flying to San Antonio, Texas, but then he disappeared with a multimillion-dollar plane and $350,000 in cash. Jane is desperate to find him, but the army seems indifferent to her plight.



Huck and Cedric take the case and follow a trail of clues that puts them in the sights of a powerful drug cartel. Where did Crook disappear to? And how is he tied to the cartel? Huck vows to uncover the truth.



The head of the cartel, Diego Emmanuel Rafael, is busy securing the release of his brother from a supermax prison. When Huck's investigation starts to derail Diego's plans, Huck and Cedric are in for the fight of their lives.
