Toby is a British journalist seconded from his London newspaper to help 'Rights Watch', a human rights organisation fighting for and highlighting the plight of Mexico and its people. Toby falls in love with the country, discovering a nation rich in culture and history but also a fearful place in which life means nothing. Toby's life is already in danger by his associations with Rights Watch and yet the exploitation and brutal murder he sees around him inspires him to do more. That's where Phantom Force comes in.
South American born British author [[:Category:Marcus Dalrymple |Marcus Dalrymple]] completes his trio of Mexican true fiction crime books in an explosive way. Although Marcus loves the sights and sounds of Mexico, the dark side his books portray will definitely put people off holidaying there.
Once again we come across a proud people that suffers corruption among those charged with its protection. Drive by shootings and explosions aimed at humanitarian organisations can go apparently unpunished. Even for those without such organisational connections daily life can still be dangerous as people disappear and children are taken off the streets to satisfy perverted appetites across the globe.
(Our grateful thanks go to the author for providing us with a copy for review.)
Further Reading: They can be read in any order but we definitely recommend that Marcus' first two books in the series – [[Killing Time: True Fiction by Marcus Dalrymple|Killing Time]] and [[Flesh and Blood: True Fiction by Marcus Dalrymple|Flesh and Blood]] - be read. If you have already, and wonder about the John Pilger whose book sits on Toby's shelf, we recommend [[Freedom Next Time by John Pilger|Freedom Next Time]]. If on the other hand , it's the thriller label that appeals, then we also recommend [[The Fifth Gospel by Ian Caldwell]]. You might also appreciate [[Prayers for the Stolen by Jennifer Clement]].
