Aikido Anejo: An Aikido Mystery (Paperback) by Daniel Linden

AIKIDO ANEJO is the story of old Willie Brown, an ancient friend of Parker's grandfather. Someone is trying to make Willie leave his homestead and Parker isn't having any of that. He puts together a legal team and heads for court and while there, meets a man who is simply the scariest person Parker has ever encountered. Like Quint said in the movie Jaws, "He has dead eyes, lifeless eyes... until he bites you..." and he gives Parker a blast from both of them as he stares deep into his soul. Later he asks, "Mr. Parker, have you ever looked into the eyes of a wild animal and understood immediately that it knows exactly how you taste? No? You will..." Are these guys drug runners? Are they running money and guns? Why the big Donzi offshore power boats? What are they doing? And why are they trying to kill Parker now? The story spins on an axis of excitement and near terror as Parker tries to save old Willie's niece who has been kidnapped. The storm of the century is nearing Florida and Parker must do whatever he can to keep Willie safe and find Siobhan before Florida is ripped off the map in a hail of wind, nature's fury, and pure evil incarnate. This is An Aikido Mystery at its very best.
