Fiction. Mystery. HTML:

A pair of federal agents from either side of the USâ??Mexico border target a cartel kingpin.


They call him "Cuchillo," the Knife. Not because he kills with a bladeâ??he has plenty of men to do that kind of work for himâ??but because his mind is so sharp. As Mexico's government wages war on the drug cartels, it takes brains to survive, and Cuchillo has not just survivedâ??he has prospered. But when Cuchillo begins to cut too deeply, the federal police of both the United States and Mexico step in to dull his blade.

P. Z. Evans and Alejo Díaz know the Hermosillo cartel is planning an attack on a tourist bus in Sonora, and they know they will have to capture or kill Cuchillo to stop it. The cartel leader has one weakness: rare, old books. To destroy the intellectual's evil empire, this unlikely pair of international police will have to appeal to his inner bibliophile.

Well written and highly enjoyable, An Acceptable Sacrifice is a first-rate crime novella. I have never read any of Deaver's other work, but will be seeking out more. Highly recommended. ( )

I'm not sure how to explain it, but this was just not a satisfying read. The plot held together - it was downright clever. I think the characters didn't quite work for me. ( )

Nice little story. Appearances can be deceiving.... ( )

Although very short, this novel was more interesting and intriguing than other novels of the same type I've read that are 4 or 5 times longer. I thoroughly enjoyed it. ( )
