Giantkillers II - Talitha Cumi (Paperback)

Picking up where Giantkillers left off, Talitha Cumi continues the thrilling adventures of third-grade teacher and martial arts expert Jonathan Tomei. San Jose police and arson investigators are on the hunt for an elusive arsonist. The criminal is targeting local Latino businesses, igniting dangerous levels of racial tension and violence in the Hillside community. As a Hillside resident, Jonathan grows increasingly concerned, but he tries to remain focused on his goddaughter Yesenia's karate competition against Mexico City's national champion, Itzel Zaragoza. When one of his own third-grade students falls victim to the violence, Jonathan can no longer ignore the surrounding turmoil and sets out to capture the ruthless felon. As he launches his own investigation, Jonathan is torn between uncovering the identity of the elusive fire starter and continuing his search for an evil mastermind behind a shocking plot to undermine the education of children in public schools. Will Jonathan find the answers to the troubles that are plaguing Hillside as he puts his reputation, and his life, in jeopardy?
