In Buenos Aires, Bobbie and Andy find corruption in the Argentine government's ruling party. The Peronistas have ties to the Argentine Mafia, the C.I.A., and the U.S. State Department and Lewis Rose has become immersed in it all, having taken the sobriquet "Charon", the mythological boatman who ferries souls across the river Styx to Hades. Charon the Ferryman becomes the Peronistas' assassin, as well as the bodyguard and lover of the President's daughter, Zulemita Menendez.The moderate Alianza party persuades Bobbie and Andy to help stop Charon, but the Ferryman stays a step ahead of them. The chase is on as the Richards follow Lewis and Zulemita Menendez back to the U.S., where Zulemita will attend college at Bryn Mawr, a sister school to Swarthmore College, where Bobbie's daughter is a sophomore. As paths cross again, more people die before Lewis is caught and Bobbie and Andy discover that the Mafia connection in Argentina is more than they could ever have suspected.

The Ferryman - Top Drawer International/Political Suspense
Rating  (5)
Date: 2001-03-09
The Ferryman, by James D. Truax, is an erotic suspense thriller that follows private detectives Bobbie Druke and Andy Richards as they try to catch a young and brilliant assassin who has been hired by a corrupt Argentine government to help assure its continuity of power by eliminating all opposition. Truax's character development is perfect as he leads us to see both the humanity and the mental imbalance of the assassin, who calls himself Charon, the Ferryman. Truax spins real events together with credibly imagined people, procedures and policies of such organizations as the Mafia, the CIA, and the US State Department. The plot is dripping with fun twists, steamy sex, and cold blooded murder.
