Jack McClure and Alli Carson are back in the most recent installment of Eric Van Lustbader's McClure-Carson series. This time, Alli is charged with murder, and Jack is put on a mission to assassinate an Albanian crime lord who is becoming too powerful. Soon they come together and find themselves in the middle of an international slave trade and a plot in which Alli's billionaire uncle and the President of the United States himself are somehow involved.
Blood Trust
There's plenty of action as Jack and Alli work to stop the slave trade, assassinate the crime lord and figure out who is framing her for murder. Other characters from the series return, and Van Lustbader digs deeper into their characterization. Emma, Jack's dead daughter, is still "speaking" to him from the beyond, helping him through some tough times. At times, it was a little hard to follow the storyline with all the twists and turns, but in the end it all comes together in a way I hadn't quite expected.
Although Van Lustbader spends a little time mentioning some of the events from the first two books that figure prominently in this story, I do think it would be better to read the first two books before Blood Trust. Some parts of the storyline and character development are really extensions from the previous books. Overall, it's a great thriller and will definitely appeal to fans of Van Lustbader.
