Mission Road by Ron Corbett is the third book in the Detective Frank Yakabuski series. The story starts off with the disapperance of a college student who came looking for the mission 1.2 billion dollars worth of uncut, untraceable diamonds. This is where the mystery begins. Two weeks after the disapperance of the first diamond hunter, a map is published online detailing the approximate location of the diamonds, Mission Road. This map brings hoards of people to Mission Road in search of the diamonds, but it also brings a murderer. This is where the fun begins for Yak.

Even though I haven't read the two previous books in the series, I was pulled into the story quickly and had me thouroghly intrigued from the start. It took the view of several characters, some of which were major players in the story and others who were incidental but necessary to build the scene and plot. There was a heavy emphasis on the rival gangs found in the area and these two mysterious men, one of which was hired to take care of a previous issue and the other one who was thought to be a local legend. There is a power play between the two which results in a lot of people dead, some of whom were simply wrong place, wrong time, which just added to the mystery of who the men were. This book was quite violent but not gory. How they found out where the diamonds travelled was really interesting and took a lot of imagination on the author's part. It made it more interesting that they didn't find them right from the beginning but actually had to work for it. The ending was satifying and I'm hoping there will be another story in the series. I also loved how it was set in a small town on the Northern Divide.

Some people may have issues with how the diamonds were stolen, but many don't realize that small town airports wouldn't necessarily have much security because they aren't in heavily populated areas and some companies try to do things on the down low.

I recommend this novel to those who enjoyed Ron Crobett's other novels and those who like mysteries involving heists and how it happened.

Warning, there is a lot of deaths in the novel, but as i mentioned above, they are not very gory, more person gets shot in the head and is no longer recognizable or just shot.

Thank you ECW PRESS from the ARC . ( )

Mission Road by Ron Corbett is the third installment of the Detective Frank Yakabuski series. At the end of the previous novel Cape Diamond, 1.2 billion dollars in diamonds are stolen and the mystery takes off from there. Frank Yakabuski is the law on the Northern Divide which is a continental divide in central North America. He will need to solve the theft of all those diamonds which, rumor has it, have been hidden on Mission Road, an old logging road. All kinds of characters come to town as modern diamond prospectors, dreaming of riches. Also present are vicious criminals who join the fray. All of this provides the reader with an extensive list of characters, sometimes adding confusion. The body count is unrealistic and, if you are bothered by excessive violence, this may not be for you. There is plenty of activity and the reader will not be bored: this is an action-packed mystery. Thank you to ECW Press and NetGalley for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review. ( )
