Revenge on the Camino

Description

The famous pilgrimage route Camino de Santiago becomes the setting for vengeance by two brothers and a former Basque terrorist. Their killings frighten villagers and interrupt the pilgrimage of FBI Agent Ward Crimmons, who is walking the Camino in memory of his deceased wife, along with his brother-in-law, a general in Spain's famous Civil Guard. As victims multiply and Spanish police search for clues, Ward learns some of the country's dark history and becomes unexpectedly involved in trying to find the killers. Revenge on the Camino is the first book in a trilogy introducing Agent Crimmons and spanning the Camino de Santiago. He arrives in Europe as the first brutal murder takes place over a hundred miles away. Readers walk the trail with him, experiencing the captivating scenery and legends of the Camino while, elsewhere, investigators try to get inside the minds of the killers. Story lines merge and lead to a riveting climax, leaving us to wonder whether Ward himself could become a target.
