Spooks Book 3: El Santero
Spooks Book 3: El Santero, by Xavier Dorison, Fabien Nury & Christian Ross, Cinebook
FORGET CASTRO, Kennedy and the Bay of Pigs, let’s go back to 1902 where independence isn’t turning out quite how the good people of Cuba expected it to be when freed of the Spanish yoke of oppression...
They find their freedom now in the slippery fingers of businessmen from the United States, a country that supposedly got them out of the mess they were in.
The poor honest folk aside, men of power are dropping like flies; then seemingly rising as zombies. Enter the Spooks, Morton Chapel’s loose gathering of experts in every field, but most aptly put to use fighting things that go bump in the night. Things have moved on since the first two books in the series, relationships between the characters have developed, not least with psychiatrist Kathryn Lennox now an increasingly important member of the team – as potential love interest, but more so as someone who can stir up a hornet’s nest of trouble with her investigating, and that's something she does here.
Cuban priests practising the cult of El Santero as rebels against the dirty politics in the big cities, men with guns ready to let them blaze and a humdinger of a thriller that’s only just begun. A period tale that dips into the supernatural with over fifty pages of strong comic book art throughout.
