Twining myth with today’s world (akin to Indiana Jones) Lacy delivers an intriguing and oddly believable tale of adventure and mystery in Shadow Away.
Andrew Seaton, archeologist, finds what might be the ‘key’ to the lost city of El Dorado (mythic ‘city of gold’) …but the ‘key’ disappears. Enter Alex Court, investigator.
Alex specializes in art theft – and understands how momentous this one particular stolen piece might be, right from the start. Its more than valuable in its own right, but possibly a link to a lost world and culture.
Action is fast – and with that hint of supernatural about it, often unpredictable. Characters are strong and opinionated; their motivation is understandable and conversations engaging.
The story is told in the first person, by Alex, so there is a certain immediacy to events. However, very occasionally this reads rather like third person, and rather confuses the reader to suddenly have Andrew’s thought or intention plain. It’s not often, but is a tad distracting.
Its a very worthwhile read, even so. Anyone who enjoys adventure tales will like this one.
