When an experimental bunker-buster disappears on Air Force Colonel Maggie Black's watch, her honor and her career are at risk. So is the filled-to-capacity Hoover Dam. Finding her experimental missile won't be easy thanks to the revenge-fueled ambitions of half-breed Asdrubal Torres, whose hallucinatory encounter with the Great Spirit challenges him to attack the white man and refill an inland sea that once covered much of southern California. It's a race against time for the one-handed Maggie, who needs to stop Torres from destroying the Southwest's water supply.
Praise for THE BLACK KACHINA:
"Jack Getze's newest novel, The Black Kachina, marks the arrival of a new star in the international thriller pantheon. Move over, Jack Reacher and make a place at the table for Colonel Maggie Black and her Robin, journalist Jordan Scott. Getze has just hit it out of the park, a gargantuan tape-measure of a clout with this, his best novel to date. My hope is that he's hard at work writing the second of what is sure to be a hugely-successful series. Movie people should be all over this one." --Les Edgerton, author of The Bitch, The Rapist, The Genuine, Imitation, Plastic Kidnapping, Lagniappe and others
"With an intriguing mix of Native American folklore and the latest in leading edge weapons technology, Jack Getze takes you on a journey that has possible written hard across the storyline. A thriller that chills. He asks what if a lethal weapon fell into the hands of someone who was obsessed with fulfilling the wildest wishes of his ancestors? Then he throws together a local reporter and a rebellious ace flyer and sets them both against a clock that is racing towards one of the worst disasters in the history of America." --Gordon Brown, author of four crime thriller novels set in Scotland and the US and a co-founder and director of the crime writing festival Bloody Scotland
"The Black Kachina shows Jack Getze is not a one-trick pony. A major departure from his Austin Carr series--which is also excellent--with all the elements required to be a mainstream bestseller." --Dana King, Shamus-award nominated author of Resurrection Mall
"Getze has that uncommon ability of being able to tell a hell of a story with just the right amount of dark humor. Always a winner!" Terrence McCauley, award-winning author of The James Hicks Series
"It's a daunting task to keep a story complex and suspenseful while making the key players come across so colorful and convincing. Jack Getze makes it seem effortless." --Erin Williams, The Paperback Stash
Genre: Mystery
