    About this ebook

    With a genius IQ, a past career as a circus acrobat, and a black belt in karate, criminology professor Dr. Robert Frederickson—better known as "Mongo the Magnificent"—has a decidedly unusual background for a private investigator. He also just so happens to be a dwarf.   Investigating illegal CIA activities in Haiti leads Mongo and his brother, former NYPD cop Garth Frederickson, to a grisly discovery: five victims of voodoo ritual sacrifice. But that's just the first surprise. Soon they uncover a wildly ambitious assassination plot that not only puts them in the cross hairs but also has the potential to change the fate of the United States forever . . .   Employing his "unlimited imagination" and talent for creating "terrific suspense" in the Mongo mystery series, author George C. Chesbro delivers a climax that pulls out all the stops (Publishers Weekly).   Dream of a Falling Eagle is the 14th book in the Mongo Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

      The last of the Mongo mysteries (not counting the one published only in French), and sadly by far the worst.
      A pair of interesting premises - an investigation of US dabbling in Haiti and a side story of poetic plagarism - are both quickly derailed by page after page of vitriolic hatred for anything associated with conservative politics.
      Thinly veiled and completely insulting caricatures of mid-1990's political figures are introduced - a trip into semi-reality that Chesbro has never made before.
      If you like Mongo and haven't read this one yet - don't. It tarnishes the series in a way that cannot be forgotten, or forgiven.
