The man known to others as Bryce
Scott isn’t thrilled about taking the “Lovely Lane Sliver Shadows” bus trip to
New Orleans. The possibility of a hurricane that is currently in the West
Indies arriving at New Orleans isn’t what concerns him. Not only is he doing to
be forced to spend time with other people from a local area church and talk to them, he is going to be forced
into dealing with the very real possibility his cover has been blown.
While it is October 1999 and years
since he testified, the mob never forgets. The mob in this case is the Vicario
crime family. Their capo, Boots Minelli, is in town. The only reason Bryce
Scott has a chance to do anything is Boots Minelli has had a very public heart
attack and is incapacitated. What he told the others is secondary to the very
real major question Bryce faces---what does he do now to stay alive?
As a hurricane gains strength and
leads towards New Orleans, Bryce Scott takes the bus trip and makes plans to
deal with ending the chase once for all. It has been a long time since he faced
the Germans in World War II, but he isn’t going down without a fight. How to do
it without involving innocent passengers is just one of a growing list of
problems he faces as the miles pass.
This is an interesting mystery
thriller style read that contains a few surprises. While it has less humor in
it than the Greg McKenzie Mysteries do, there are the occasional small bits
of humor. All and all, Hellbound by Chester Campbell is a
good read that keeps the reader turning the pages to see how Bryce will deal
with the killers after him as well as some of his fellow bus passengers. Some
of them just might be as bad as the killers.
