Cathedral of Salt

A mix of Tom Clancy and Dan Brown, Anthony LaRose brings you and action/thriller in one of the world's most exotic locales--Colombia's Cathedral of Salt. What people are saying: "Impressive"..."jumps right into the action"..."interesting main character and forensics"..."potential to be a series"--ABNA reviewer. "As a former FDLE forensic examiner, I can tell you that that this book will keep you on edge for the next creative forensics technique Sam Grant dreams up! Amazingly, they all would work!"--Leslie Nixon, Forensic Examiner, Public Speaker, formerly with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement Crime Laboratory Services. "Reflects real law enforcement and how things often hide in plain sight."--Vince Hartney, Retired police officer. Fighting depression and alcoholism, the FBI agent must evoke all of his former training and expertise to help solve the crime. While working the case, his story intersects with Santos, the local police captain assigned to the case, who is indignant having been assigned to babysit a drunken gringo; Guasá, a notorious activist for indigenous rights who claims the cathedral's land as her people's; Cárdenas, the arrogant salt mine executive obsessed with keeping the mine operational; and Chamí, a shadowy anthropology professor with a secret double life. Mixing ancient history, contemporary political reality, and modern forensics, Cathedral of Salt weaves a gripping, fast-paced tale of murder and intrigue over the course of several days. What starts as a simple offer of collaboration with a crime scene investigation, becomes a quest for redemption for Grant who soon realizes that the salt wants to keep its secrets.
