They Who Betray

An explosive, deadly Miami drug bust gone awry opens Bob McElwain's second novel, "They Who Betray." Mark Rippet returns to his hometown, Los Angeles, after a mysterious five-year disappearance. But he's too late. His brother, Wayne, is dead. Murdered. His dad, Lyle, lies in a coma. The family business is on the brink of bankruptcy. No one seems very concerned. Except for Mark. Somehow he feels he should not have been where he was. He should have been right here. Adding to his despair, it becomes obvious someone is on his trail. They want him dead. Now. Thus is the stage set for this well-crafted page-turning barn-burner! McElwain's gift of language is very apparent throughout this book. The great depth of his many characters makes them unpredictable. As in real life, what you see isn't necessarily what you get! Mark, dashing headlong in one direction, misses the mark. He slides off into a new direction, hoping to be on target. You get sucked right in. There's no slowing down. You'll soon find you have one goal--to finish the book!
