Booklist Review

Lowell (Death Echo, 2010) explores ancient Mayan prophecy and one cult's interpretation of the end of the Mayan calendar in a suspenseful tale that contains nearly as much art and history as romance. Hunter Thompson gets a panicky call from his friend Jase, a former coworker at the Border Patrol in Texas, who tells him that some Mayan artifacts are missing from evidence and Jase is being blamed. If he can't find them, he will lose his job. Hunter agrees to help his friend and calls on Dr. Lina Taylor, an expert at Houston's Museum of the Maya, to identify the photos Jase gave him and, hopefully, give him some idea of who might have stolen the artifacts. Lina is shocked to see such a trove of heretofore undiscovered art, which could only have come from her family's estate in the Yucatan. As she helps Hunter unravel the facts about the theft of artifacts, they run up against a deadly god cult preparing for the December 2012 Mayan doomsday and the culture's rebirth.--Henshaw, Pat Copyright 2010 Booklist
