“Chasing the White Lion” by James R. Hannibal
Lots of action and suspense from beginning to end! This story is book 2 of the Talia Inger Book Series but can be read as a stand alone novel. On the edge of my seat the entire time with interesting characters, explosive action, thrilling chases; although somewhat complicated. This story does involve human trafficking which may be too much for some readers.
Overall, I enjoyed the action and story line and recommend it to anyone who has read his books in the past. I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
About the Book:
Young CIA officer Talia Inger has reconciled with the man who assassinated her father, but that doesn’t mean she wants him hovering over her every move and unearthing the painful past she’s trying to put behind her. Still, she’ll need him–and the help of his star grifter, Valkyrie–if she hopes to infiltrate the Jungle, the first ever crowdsourced crime syndicate, to rescue a group of kidnapped refugee children.
But as Talia and her elite team of thieves con their way into the heart of the Jungle, inching ever closer to syndicate boss the White Lion, she’ll run right up against the ragged edge of her family’s dark past. In this game of cat and mouse, it’s win . . . or die. And in times like that, it’s always good to have someone watching your back.
Former tactical deception officer and stealth pilot James Hannibal takes you deep undercover into the criminal underworld where everyone has an angle and no one escapes unscathed.

He is a two-time Silver Falchion Award winner for his Section 13 mysteries for kids and a Thriller Award nominee for his Nick Baron covert ops series for adults.
