'A modern-day Aesop, only more complex...'

I've just read a new review for Spanish Eye that has appeared on Amazon.com and Goodreads. I am truly moved by the reviewer, Charles Ameringer's comments:

 

Spanish Eye is a marvelous collection of short stories linked by a common protagonist, the private investigator Leon Cazador. Yet, each story is unique in setting and plot, drawing on the author's remarkable breadth of knowledge and extraordinarily full life, spiced by a genuine loathing for evil and wrong-doing. We learn a great deal about the history, culture, lore, and landscape of Spain and meet a diverse cast of characters, as Cazador sees to it that a variety of miscreants, petty and grand, are appropriately done in. Mr. Morton is a gifted writer, a modern-day Aesop, only more complex, providing entertaining stories, each with a moral. You have no idea of the treat that is in store for you.

Charles Ameringer was my blog guest in October last year and that can be read here. However, this review came as a complete surprise and was not solicited.

 

Charles is professor emeritus of Latin American history at Penn State University and a former captain in the USAF Reserve. Before beginning his teaching career, he served as an intelligence analyst in the U.S. Department of Defense. He is the author of a number or respected non-fiction works and his debut novel The Old Spook, which deserves a wide readership. It has seven good reviews on Goodreads and on Amazon.com.
