Buried Strangers by Leighton Gage
4.0
I enjoyed this a little more than the Gage's first.
What really distinguishes this series, of course, is the setting. Gage's Brazil is a place where corruption is a fact of life, and random violence is a constant threat. The line between good guy and bad guy is much fuzzier than in typical American police novels, and that tension is the driving force of the novel.
Like Blood of the Wicked, Buried Strangers is a little more violent and disturbing than my usual fare. To me, the excellent writing makes up for it, but if you're particularly sensitive you might want to avoid.
