"Lethal Greed", by John W. Mefford



Greed #2

Having kids and bringing them up to be healthy and productive adults is a hard task but when your kids are mixed up in illicit drugs what are you to do? Worst by helping them get out of this predicament you decide to go after the shady characters that got them hooked.... well read “Lethal Greed” and you may find out....enjoy.

In a web of mystery, “Lethal Greed”, brings a city under siege with drug deaths and kidnapping. Michael Doyle (the protagonist) and those closest to him are sucked into a twister so destructive no one will be the same at the end. Greed, is the driving force in this action packed story where we find Michael immersed in a drama involving his friend Arthur whose wife has been kidnapped and ransomed. With partying young adults shooting up, sniffing or snorting drugs....some to their death....Michael had to take on the drug dealers to protect the vulnerable but dealing with the Drug Cartel is a whole other ball game.

I had a bit of trouble getting into it at first it took some time before I noticed I was hooked and couldn’t let go. Slow paced at first then the action and suspense took off and kept a steady tempo till the very last page. Even with all the action this is an easy plot to follow and one that will make you think. Mr. Mefford choice of subject definitely is an eye opener....although not surprising. Partying in Puerto Vallarta during Spring break wow the kids know how to give themselves a good time...or a fatal one...

I like the characters in this book, most are recurring one from book #1 but no fear if you haven’t read “Fatal Greed” this story can be read on its own.

In a few words:

“Lethal Greed” brings a thought provoking subject to the forefront, not only about greed but also about murder, betrayal and the terrible curse of drug addiction.
