Coyote Crossing Marilyn Peake Double Dragon Publishing ISBN: DDP001MAPEAKE Fiction, Thriller, Adventure Reviewed by Eugen M. Bacon

Engaging cover graphics and a pert, vibrant opening prepare one for a risk-cloaked cross border smuggle. Marilyn Peake polishes her writing to inject brisk suspense. Present tense here makes tension and drama more imminent, the story sharper, more real. Drawn parallels, contrasts between individuals of a different ilk; from the simplicity of a Mexican female with a near shattered fairytale to the affluence of an anthropologist in a comfortable society web, Coyote Crossing is a fierce tale much removed from young adult fantasy. Whistling waters, dust clouds in the horizon and a beaten truck soaring gravel into the night: several elements combine to paint atmosphere well, and carry the reader through a poignant road where nothing is what it seems.
