Book Review By P. J. Erickson
Yokche by P.J. Erickson

Chase Larsen, biker and aging adventurer hits the road to find his sister's killer. Teaming up with Joe Keel, a Seminole Indian out to save his people's lands, Chase will head from Palm Beach to the Everglades and north to St. Augustine, meeting a wild cast of characters on the way.

From Shana McLain, a beautiful and disillusioned paralegal, to Miles Hickman, a sociopathic scientist who discovers how to control lightning and make diamonds, Chase and Joe are led to Dominick Wilding, an arrogant and power hungry lawyer.

While using the Indian and biker communities to solve the riddle of Sophie's death, they discover a far greater threat - one that could topple governments all over the world.
