This novel, from the NUMA Files, is set mostly in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, and occasionally skirting the border of Guatemala. Not surprisingly, Clive Cussler uses this vicinity to reference one of his favourite underworld characters, Quetzalcoatl, a demonic person who can be blamed for any number of atrocities in the world.
In this latest edition of the Jack Reacher series, the action and storytelling downshifts to less thrilling mode.
