Synopsis

In the newest Wolfe-family adventure from James Carlos Blake, Rudy and Frank Wolfe are engaging in routine miscellaneous business—some legitimate and some less so—for their family when they stumble upon a stash of high-quality pornographic films in a raid. The plot thickens when their Aunt Catalina, the family matriarch aged 115, recognizes a resemblance to her long-lost sister in one of the young performers. Catalina tasks the boys with tracking the girl down, however improbable a connection may be.

This proves to be no simple task. Soon, Rudy and Frank find themselves moving away from world of porn and towards the upper echelons of the Sinaloa drug cartel, where the mysterious woman has become a particular favorite of the head narco. For their aunt, the woman, and themselves, Frank and Rudy must find a way to extract her from the cartel. A tropical storm threatens their plan but their widespread and steadfast family stands ready to assist them every deadly mile of the way.

Ever daring and innovative, and assisted by the family's ready resources, the Wolfe brothers must run the highest risks in order to achieve the mission assigned them by the Grande Dame.

For several years, James Carlos Blake has been quietly building a contemporary border-noir mythos that has been excellent by even the strictest of standards. The foundation of the series has been the semi-fictitious Wolfe clan, whose family tree has straddled the border between Mexico and the United......more

I got hooked on James Carlos Blake about 20 years ago with his blood and guts “Wildwood Boys,” a book about Bloody Bill Anderson and the Kansas bush war era. He has long been one of my favorites, and I’ve enjoyed every one of his 13 previous novels. The Wolfe family saga continues in this action-pac......more

The Bones of Wolfe is a fictional account of the exploits of a large crime family in the southern US and Mexico.

Not as good as the others I have read This story just wasn't that good. The plot was kind of silly and the characters were not very likeable or interesting. No nearly as good of a story as the other Wolfe family books. Very disappointed.......more
