I haven't read Shaun More's first Atticus Fish book but, after this one, I'm definitely going to get a copy and read it.

El Dorado Blues is a zany treasure hunt that reminds me a little of 'It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World'. Using airplanes, cars, trucks, yachts, submarines and mules, a collection of shady characters that Carl Hiaasen could have been proud of chase each other through Baja California in pursuit of the legendary Jesuits' Treasure, recently unearthed by an American archeologist.

The protagonist, Atticus Fish, is a former attorney who successfully sued God, winning billions in a class action lawsuit against insurance companies and organized religions over the 'act of God' policy exclusion. This may have earned him several boatloads of cash but it also put him squarely in the crosshairs of any psycho zealot looking to get in the good graces of their chosen higher power. His solution is change his name, buy an Island in the Sea of Cortez, and enjoy life in a manner that Jimmy Buffet would envy.

What adds the most to this book and makes it a real delight to read is the author's obvious familiarity with and love for the region. I personally never thought of Baja as anything more than a sandy strip of land supporting a road from Ensenada to Cabo but it is clearly much more than that to Shaun Morey. His love of Baja is evident on almost every page and he has given me a new appreciation for and interest in the region.

The review copy of this book was obtained from the publisher via the Amazon Vine Program. ( )
