Robert Sparkman’s Prisoner Prodigal Pawn is a complex murder mystery novel that unravels with Elton Mozingo, main suspect in the murder of his colleague at the Baxter and Baxter law firm, going on the run. Bill Baxter is an ambitious and successful lawyer who is preparing to run for political office. His equally ambitious wife, Liz, is going to take his place in the family firm. And as the story continues, we learn that Elton’s father, who also worked for Baxter, is in jail serving a sentence for murder, eerily the same situation Elton finds himself in. Elton and his estranged brother, Charles, a tribal police officer, have individually set out to investigate their father’s case and they will discover that there is virtually nobody around them whom they can trust.

Prisoner Prodigal Pawn is set in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The plot revolves around the secrets of a controversial law firm, an Indian casino, and the politics of an Indian tribe. It is the story of two brothers whose father is a convicted felon and their quest to clear his name. This quest will open a Pandora’s box of murder, betrayal, and greed. Fast paced and full of adventure, Prisoner Prodigal Pawn is also a story of familial love and loyalty. The plot is highly intricate and it has many interesting characters, but author Robert Sparkman flawlessly weaves the story together so that readers can easily follow the complex story line and discover the motives that drive the actions of his main characters. And I tell you, that is a not an easy feat!
