Escobar s enemies know that even in hiding he is still a very dangerous man, and that simply looking for him would cost them their lives.

More About the Author

I was a cute baby, chubby with curly hair and a great smile. My parents loved me until I hit my teen years, then they tolerated me until the mid-twenties. Glad to say they love me again now. I think.

I've got four kids of my own. How stupid was that? And five dogs. Shiba Inu is the breed. They're bad little dogs that live to escape from my house and terrorize the neighborhood. Much like my kids.

I love writing. The last five books I wrote were while sitting in a Second Cup coffee shop. That's like a Canadian version of Starbucks for all of you south of the 49th parallel. Great coffee. It keeps me awake while I write. That's a good thing.

I like hockey, but only watch the playoffs. Calgary and Edmonton are my favorite teams, which is like someone saying, "I love the Yankees and the Mets." Figure that one out.

Baseball is great, the thinking sports fan's game. Soccer is fun while the World Cup is on, the rest is pretty boring. But NFL football rules. Go Seahawks. I used to watch these guys when Jim Zorn and Steve Largent were in the league.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. If you want to send me an e-mail, put a note in the subject line that you found my e-mail on Amazon and have a comment on my books. No attachments, please.

All the best,

Jeff Buick

5.0 out of 5 stars action-packed thriller, January 25, 2005

By

(#1 Hall OF FAME REVIEWER)    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Bloodline (Mass Market Paperback)

With the combined efforts of the U.S. government and Columbian authorities, ruthless drug lord Pablo Escobar was hunted down and killed. Fingerprint, dental records and DNA proved that the body was Escobar. Eleven years later, an account that only Escobar had access to has withdrawals. Columbian Mario Rastano and his son Javier, druglords masquerading as responsible businessmen, are notified of the withdrawals because much of the money belongs to them; they realize Escobar is alive and want the code to the account.

The Rastanos kidnap the wife and daughter of Pablo's cousin Eugene Estobar. If Eugene hopes to see them alive again, he must bring the code to Javier in one week. He wins the help of the DEA, the CIA and a U.S. senator, all who have reasons to want Pablo dead. However, one team member is a mole reporting every move the group makes to Pablo. Eugene uses his family connections to look for his cousin, hoping one of them will know where he is and help him.

BLOODLINE is an action-packed thriller which gives readers a feel for what it is like living in a country where the drug lords control so much. This work starts faster than a racing car in a straightaway and never slows down so that readers feel they are part of the action. Eugene is a loving and devoted husband and father who will do whatever it takes to get his family back. He is also intelligent enough to put a mole in the Rastano estate in the hopes that he can free his family if he fails to find Pablo. Jeff Buick is a writer with a great future ahead of him.
