MWSA Review

Solomon's Men is a fast-paced and enjoyable read.  Glenn Starkey’s protagonist, Greg Valdez is an art thief with a shadowy past.  Commissioned to steal a priceless artifact from an ancient Portuguese monastery, Valdez soon discovers that possessing the artifact puts him and his family in danger.  Hunted by a secret sect of Templar Knights and the secretive millionaire who hired him, Valdez has to use all of the skills from his past to save his son, himself, and the woman he loves. 

Glenn Starkey’s writing reminds me of other great authors in the genre.  I couldn’t put this book down and wanted to keep reading it.  If you liked The Saint series or Tom Clancy, you’ll love this book.  The ending will surprise you.
