These elements combine to produce a nightmare of deception, murder and a terrifying journey into the unknown.Best-selling author William Kerr’s tenth offering in the Matt Berkeley suspense/ thriller series finds Berkeley, former Navy Special Warfare officer and security expert in the field of archeology, once again paired with Lieutenant Polly Bartelow (from the earlier Death’s Bright Angel and Night Scream) of the Jacksonville, Florida Sheriff’s Office. Together they must confront not only human greed and a grab for political power, but a mysterious force that neither can identify.The Mesoamerican Pavilion of Jacksonville’s Reichsburg Museum of Fine Art and Antiquities provides the backdrop for the theft of the necklace and the brutal killing of a young security guard. His death is followed by the suspicious disappearance of the museum’s curator, the beautiful yet cunningly dangerous Adriana Vargas Hierra.From Florida’s northeast coast to the Yucatan Peninsula’s colorful vacation city of Cancún, Mexico, Matt and Polly investigate the loss of the necklace and its companion statue of an Aztec god. From the beginning they experience multiple murders so horrific that neither can comprehend what kind of creature commits such savagery.A yacht adrift in the Gulf of Mexico, its crew dead, their bodies ripped apart- an underground river in which Matt and Polly must fight for their lives- and finally a secret tunnel where they find themselves matched against the Vargas woman and a killer determined to fulfill the curse of the black pearls. Such are the ingredients for another Matt Berkeley, page-turning adventure. Tears of the Gods (The Berkeley Chronicles Book 10) by William Kerr
