Publisher Description
A circus-performer-turned-PI and his ex-cop brother rescue a girl from a doomsday cult in this novel of “terrific suspense” and “unlimited imagination” (Publishers Weekly).
With a genius IQ, a past career as a circus acrobat, and a black belt in karate, criminology professor Dr. Robert Frederickson—better known as “Mongo the Magnificent”—has a decidedly unusual background for a private investigator. He also just so happens to be a dwarf.
Mongo and his brother, Garth, have left their day jobs as a professor and a cop, respectively, and formed their own PI firm, Frederickson & Frederickson. It’s a great reason to celebrate this holiday season, but when their annual tradition of picking up a few letters to Santa from the post office to fulfill the Christmas wishes of needy children reveals a sinister secret, their cheer is replaced with a yearning for justice. As the brothers race to save a little girl from a religious doomsday cult, they’ll get up close and personal with a murderous zealot bent on the eradication of all mankind—preferably before the New Year . . .
Second Horseman Out of Eden is the 7th book in the Mongo Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The seventh saga starring Dr. Frederickson (Mongo), master criminologist, equals the earlier stories in hyperbole and in terrific suspense as well. As related by Mongo, his brother Garth finds a letter to Santa Claus written by little Vicky Brown, begging for help. Her parents are among duped followers of ``Reverend'' Kenecky, who sexually abuses Vicky. Determined to rescue the little girl, Mongo and Garth survive a series of tension-producing clashes with Kenecky's vicious flunkies, first in New York and moving all the way to Iowa, the site of a planned Armageddon. As Garth says, it will take a miracle to save the world from a scene out of Revelation , when the ``second horseman'' appears to destroy peace and humankind. The reader doesn't need a miracle to suspend disbelief, just the appreciation of Chesbro's unlimited imagination and admiration of the valiant brothers, to relish this scary adventure.
