Blaine and Beyer launch into the Arizona skies on another thrilling Mitch Blaine adventure!

In the highly anticipated sequel to The Escalante Enigma, Blaine and Beyer, recuperating from their recent narrow escape from almost certain death in a lost canyon in Utah, are about to call off their afternoon’s fishing in Apache Lake, Arizona, when a girl literally drops in on them from an aircraft flying overhead—plummeting into the water and sinking to the bottom without a sound. Mitch Blaine, ever the recalcitrant hero, dives in after her and spends several terrifying minutes releasing her from the heavy bars wired to her feet. Her name is Gabby Alvarado, and Blaine wants her to have a new chance at life. But the story she tells of the events preceding her near-drowning lead Blaine and Beyer on a hunt for lost Spanish silver, a long-abandoned railroad, and ultimately to a murderous gang of drug-runners and human traffickers—one of the most cold-blooded bands of thugs they have ever encountered. And now the gang wants Blaine and Beyer dead… Join Blaine and Beyer in yet another action-packed, adrenaline-fueled escapade in the skies with Rod Lewin’s latest novel, The Carrizo Conundrum.
