Book Description
The rugged Cat Mesa country north of the village of Posadas is hosting the first annual Posadas 100, a cyclo-cross bicycle race that promises to attract more than 140 competitors. Despite enough injuries during the pre-race practice to promise a spectacular—and dangerous—race, Undersheriff Estelle Reyes-Guzman has even more pressing concerns on her mind.
Someone has been using Jerry Turner’s big Cessna 206 and then returning it to its hangar at the Posadas airport. The most likely explanation is clandestine trips into Mexico, but a State Police drug-sniffing dog finds no evidence of contraband. Estelle has worries at home as well. Facing his first public piano recital, her prodigiously talented seven-year-old son is stubbornly refusing to tell anyone what he plans to play, and it’s making everyone, including his music teacher, very nervous.
The day of the big race brings a tragedy that doesn’t look like an accident, and as the investigation continues, puzzling connections surface deep in Mexico. Posadas County is now mixed up in something bigger and more sinister than it’s ever faced before, and it’s up to Estelle to uncover the truth before things spin out of control.
Readers of Final Payment, whether they are encountering Posadas County for the first time or gladly returning, will be charmed by Estelle, her family, and the various citizens of this vibrant community. And never fear! The retired sheriff Bill Gastner is still in town, rounding out the cast of this entertaining, highly readable mystery.

The usual prompt delivery from Amazon. I have read the entire series of books by Havill and have enjoyed them all. He makes Posadas County seem real with real characters with human flaws. Final payment included some scenes that would seem to be stretching it a bit. The night landing at an unlit airstrip was a reckless action that I do not feel a real police officer would have attempted. Having been involved in police work for over 18 years I think I know somthing about how cops think and act. I do recommend Havill's books and look forward to his next one.
Return to Posadas County in "Final Payment".......2007-08-04
Undersheriff Estelle Reyes-Guzman finds herself in a bit of a predicament as this latest read in a great series opens. The tourists are coming to town and in a big way. The village of Posadas, New Mexico is hosting in less than 48 hours a grueling bicycle race named the "Posadas 100" or as Estelle calls it, "The Blood and Broken Bones One Hundred." Her point has proven true with two hard crashes during practice already involving riders that went off the mesa into the ravines below.
Her concerns about the event are interrupted by the discovery of three well dressed but very deceased individuals in the scrub brush at one end of the runway at a small isolated airstrip owned by the local gas company. When she arrives on scene and begins to investigate she soon realizes that the three did not die of exposure caused by the summer heat as one would expect considering the harsh landscape. No, it was a clear execution for reasons unknown. While at the airport she also discovers that a private airplane, a Cessna 206, has been used by someone and put back so as not to be caught. Estelle believes that the two cases are linked in a fast paced novel that concludes in a violent altercation 48 hours later.
This series originally began with the Sheriff Bill Gastner books before switching over to Estelle Reyes-Guzman several novels ago. With this being the fifth novel in the overall story arc dealing primarily with Estelle, it is obvious that Author Steven F. Havill made a conscious decision to all but shove the Gastner character off stage. He is hardly present at all in this novel and only makes an appearance a couple of times directly while being briefly talked about in the course of events approximately twice more. Estelle is front and center throughout the novel and it shows in style, tone, and action.
As the overall series arc has shifted to Estelle and the series was named a "Posadas County Mystery" the tone and style shifted. What had been a warm folksy style with the cantankerous Gastner shifted to a cool distant style reflecting the lead character. Gone are the frequent mentions of Gastner's insomnia and middle of the night drives which found him prowling around unable to sleep. Now, it is Estelle, prayed on by her family worries that finds herself unable to sleep in the wee hours of the morning as well as by a case that must be solved quickly. Estelle, while she may stress about their future or important events in the children's lives, is always cool and calm under pressure and displays none of Gastner's sharp tongue or fiery temper. This is certainly true in this novel where Estelle is pressured to new limits and in ways she has never dealt with before.
Once again Steven F. Havill brings an attention to detail, an appreciation of the harsh beauty of the New Mexico landscape, and rich characters to bear on another twisting tale of greed and murder. Something that is a familiar event in Posadas County and appreciated once again by his loyal fans. This latest entry is another strong read and while Gastner's lack of presence is noted and missed, so too is the fact that Estelle is becoming a powerful character in her own right. This is good stuff and well worth your reading investment.

terrific New Mexico police procedural .......2007-06-12
In Posadas County, New Mexico, everyone excitedly awaits the first annual Posadas 100, a cross bicycle race; everyone that is except first responders like cops and ER personnel as they expect incidents and injuries. However, Undersheriff Estelle Reyes-Guzman has other concerns as she looks closely at the three Hispanic corpses, who were executed. However, just one look at their relatively expensive garb and affirmed by their soft hands tell Estelle these are not unfortunate illegal immigrants caught sneaking across the border and murdered by a vigilante group.
At about the same time, pilot Jerry Turner reports that someone apparently flew his Cessna 206 away from and back to the Posadas Airport; everyone including Estelle assumes it is drug traffickers, but no lingering evidence is found. At home, Estelle's seven-year-old son refuses to inform her, his music teacher or anyone what he plans to perform at his first piano recital. As much as she worries about him, more murders and a Mexican exchange art student's watercolor lead Estelle to believe she knows who is the next victim and why, but to stop this brilliant killer means risking her life.
This is a terrific New Mexico police procedural that will have the audience finishing it in one delightful read. The story line is fast-paced on both the official and personnel fronts as Estelle deals with a clever murderer and her even slyer son. Newcomers as well as Reyes-Guzman's fans will appreciate the heroine's balancing act of trying to stop a killer and remain alive so she can solve the deeper mystery of what piece her son will play.

Word artistry.......2002-10-31
I love discovering an author new to me who writes so well that you just know you've been there; you've seen those people; you've heard them talking. And through Mary Gordon's incisive prose, you perceive everything even more clearly than if you'd merely been there.
It's just too bad that so many of the characters are appalling. Although I admired the author's sense of irony, I wish she had been more generous with a sense of humour that occasionally percolated but never fully penetrated.
Talk about dysfunctional. Isabel Moore is finally in a position to set herself free after eleven years of nursing a badly crippled father. First he was crippled emotionally and then he became physically incapacitated by a stroke soon after his daughter did something that disappointed him mightily. The guilt that arises in Isabel will outlast even her widowed father's surprisingly long life. Isabel is 30 when he dies, and considers herself ancient. Today a 30-year-old woman would probably not consider herself passée. Yet perhaps at the same time a young woman today would not devote herself so completely to the care of a disabled parent. Still, Isabel's actions and reactions seem anachronistic even for 25 years ago, when this novel was written.
Isabel's thought processes are incredibly convoluted, but if you can get past her wobbly self perception (why does she attach herself to so many unlikeable people?) this book is worth reading. You may question much of the character motivation, but you will love the words and how the author has strung them together.
Insightful, heartfelt, vivid, powerful.......2000-03-12
Now 39, I first read Final Payments at 18. After college, marriage, and two children, I still get it off the bookshelf from time to time to read for its power, pleasure and insight. Raised mostly motherless, main character Isabel has taken care of her invalid father in their home for eleven years, mostly out of guilt from past events, her intense love for him, and, because this deed is expected by her devoutly Catholic father. All the while, however, Isabel knows it is looked upon as out of the ordinary in the latter 20th century, and mainly, secretly, she wishes it would be over so she could begin to live her own life. Upon her fathers' death, however, Isabel is surprised to find she finds not the relief she expected, but confusion and difficulty understanding how to handle life in the real world. Still a young woman of thirty, she becomes involved with the worst possible men a woman as naive as she could. Her new job finds her only constantly reminded of her former situation with her father, a memory which haunts her until she is forced to make her 'final payments' to her past. The vividity and emotion with which author Mary Gordon has written this book with has made it a stunner. The reader vascillates between sympathy and empathy, humor, outrage, love, resentfulness, embarrassment, and wonder ... and these emotions are written in such firm but elegant prose, she feels herself in Isabel's current situation and is amazed by the logical reality and turns of events of Isabel's life. You will think-- and wish -- you are there.
UNDISCOVERED TREASURE.......2000-02-11
I am presently reading "Spending" by Mary Gordon and find it interesting but not remarkable. Ms. Gordon's first novel "Final Payments" is one of the best novels I have ever read. It seems not many have read this book and that's unfortunate as I strongly believe that most would agree with me. It helps if you're an ex or present Catholic, but all should find it funny and profound. I've never bothered to write a review, but this book prompts me to take my non-existant time to rave about it. The reader will identify and love Isabel and her struggle to find a place for herself in a world that she unprepared to inhabit. In its own way it is also one of the funniest novels I've ever read. Only Breakfast at Tiffanys and To Kill a Mockingbird have moved me this much-high praise.
Insightful, brave, witty, passionate..........1999-02-26
Final Payments is an insightful look at love, death, friendships, and religion. Mary Gordon writes with such richness it is a beauty to read. Her style of writing is truly an art. She creates absorbing characters with such depth, especially Isabel Moore. Isabel manages to touch us with nearly every emotion: sadness, sympathy, happiness, frustration, relief, and humor. Her thoughts are so unique, so inspiring. It's an amazing first novel, and definitely worth a read. Since there is no synopsis given at Amazon.com, I thought I'd provide a brief look at the back of the book: "After eleven years of devotion to her father, Isabel Moore suddenly finds herself with what most of us dream of: a chance to create a totally new existence. She is supported by the loving encouragement of two old school friends, rapidly becomes involved with two men -- and then discovers that before she can grasp the present she must make her final payments to the past."

Book Description
Final Payment is an espionage thriller set in the depths of the Cold War in 1971. An Israeli aircraft flying over Sinai is attacked by a Soviet missile fired from Egypt, but the weapon fails to detonate and the pilot crash-lands his disabled aircraft with the live missile lodged in its fuselage. CIA officers Clay Kinkaide and Serina Gray are immediately assigned to purchase the damaged missile for intelligence analysis.
The Israelis agree to sell, but demand $10,000,000 and delivery to them of Joachim Van Altmann, a U.S. citizen serving as caretaker officer on a ship marooned in the Great Bitter Lake whom they assert is the Nazi war criminal Martin Bormann.
Van Altmann is not a Nazi, but an NSA officer operating a clandestine electronic monitoring station on his ship. The Israelis reject CIA assurances of his innocence, however, and insist they will kidnap or kill him if the exchange is not consummated. Soviet operatives also pursue Van Altmann as a bargaining chip to use in recovering their missile.
To free the hostage NSA officer and obtain the missile, Clay and Serina lead a world-wide hunt for the real Martin Bormann. Besides the long-missing Nazi, their search turns up two Soviet double agents, a pair of armed nuclear warheads, a KGB scheme to intentionally detonate an atomic device, and a Soviet plan to exploit the ensuing fallout by blackmailing the West into unilateral disarmament.
Before the CIA officers can extricate Bormann from his base of operations in Paraguay, or reveal the deadly plot they've uncovered, Serina is betrayed to the local police. Faced with torture, she tries to protect Clay and their operation by remaining silent. Meanwhile, he must choose to attempt her rescue or to deliver his prisoner and information which will prevent a nuclear holocaust to the Company.
Final Payment is a chronicle of career intelligence operatives playing Cold War brinkmanship on a scale of horrifying proportions. It's also the story of two people who discover that they care deeply for one another. The game they play permits no error without penalty and payment exacted in pain or death. To survive and prevail, they must trust only each other and constantly guard against enemies, allies, and the ruthless policies of their employer.

Final Payment is a Thriller.......2001-10-18
Clean, clear, concise. The stuff good spy thrillers are made of! Quentin's background in the CIA shows up in the book's feel of authenticity. The characters are engaging without overpowering the story. No lag-time. I like that!
Prepare for sleepless night.......2000-08-16
Wow. It's been a long time since I read a book that cost me a nights sleep. The story is very well researched and filled with enough twists to keep you guessing right to the end. There were several times when I anxiously waited for something to happen (or not happen !) and was pleasantly surprised at the outcome. I especially liked the character development. Similiar to a Dean Koontz book, the characters are believable, doing logical things in a difficult situation, and easy to relate too. Their growing relationship is just what would be expected in a covert assignment. Absolutely enjoyable. I anxiously await the sequel.
Writing the Spy Life.......2000-08-09
Writing the spy life
SLCC administrator uses short career with CIA as fodder for first novel
By Maria Titze Deseret News staff writer
It wasn't like a James Bond movie. Nor was it like working at a quiet community college.
"Long periods of research and tedium, punctuated by occasional moments of stark terror."
That's how Quentin T. Wells, director of program innovation at Salt Lake Community College, describes his brief career with the CIA.
Three decades after his four-year-stint as a covert officer assigned to Soviet Bloc Operations, Wells has written a novel. "Final Payment" is a story of international intrigue and romance set in the early 1970s in Israel and Paraguay.
"It's based on two cases I knew of in the agency," Wells said. "It's information that, to my knowledge, has never appeared in the media before."
Wells, who oversees the production of Web classes and telecourses for SLCC, is a bookish man who speaks without bravado -- or much detail -- about his life as a spy.
"It's a dog's life for a family," he said.
A Utah native, Wells joined the CIA while he was a student at the University of Utah.
At the height of the Cold War, "the CIA maintained contact on many university campuses," he said, looking for suitable recruits.
"To work in Soviet Bloc Operations, you had to be married," Wells said. "They wanted you to have somebody you could trust -- and they didn't want her to be Russian."
Wells and his wife had no children at the time, and the job in Washington, D.C., seemed inviting. "It looked like a great adventure," he said.
Wells had a standard CIA cover. To friends and neighbors, he was a civilian employee of the U.S. Army, working in personnel research and assessment.
"There was an office on 2nd and R Street, not far from where the Roosevelt Memorial is now, a fenced complex where those of us with covers said we worked," Wells explained. There, a CIA employee answered the phone and verified Wells' cover story to whoever inquired.
Wells said the toughest part of his job was learning to lie. "Wherever I went, whether it was applying for a loan or buying life insurance, I had to tell this story about what I did for a living," he said. "You just wrote down the information and hoped it would always check out."
It always did -- although there were a few close calls. "I remember bumping into a professor I'd had at the U. once," Wells said. "He was in Washington, and I saw him at this meeting and didn't have a chance to say anything to him alone." In front of a group of people, he leaned over the table and asked Wells how things were going at "that secret agency." Wells didn't miss a beat. "A lot of folks think . . . (the Army) is pretty secretive, but we're much more open than that," he said.
It seemed to work. Wells said his professor got the hint, and no one else at the gathering seemed suspicious.
Wells won't say what countries he visited as an employee of the CIA.
"None, officially," he said. "If you checked, I never had a passport in those years."
He did rub shoulders with Aldrich Ames, the CIA officer turned Soviet spy who was arrested in 1994.
"We roomed together and trained together. He was my partner," Wells said.
Ames' arrest "stunned" Wells at first. "But thinking back on it, it was really only surprising that he got away with it for so long," he said.
There were plenty of reasons to be suspicious, Wells said. "I was in his home about a year before he was picked up, and I remember looking at his (car) and his big home in Arlington and thinking (the CIA) must be paying a lot better than when I was here."
After he'd spent four years as a CIA officer, Wells' wife gave birth to their first child, and it seemed like time to come back to Utah.
"I knew the hardest thing I'd have to do would be to lie to my children," he said. "I'd either have to lie or teach them to lie. I understand why it has to be done, and I have respect for the families who make that choice. But it's something I didn't want to do."
Wells found a job as an advertising executive ("There's not much call for spies in Utah"), and became familiar with film processing.
He worked in film production for 20 years before being hired by SLCC.
" 'Final Payment' was actually a screenplay I wrote in the early 1970s," Wells said. "I've been writing throughout almost my entire career. But fiction is quite different. You make your own world -- within the constraints of reality, of course."
And so far, Wells said, the CIA doesn't seem to care about his writing endeavors.
"I'm not worried, not after this long," he said. "My information is dated enough, it wouldn't do any harm."
Wells is already working on another spy novel as well as a historical biography.

This book was great!!.......1999-03-06
This is the final book (4 in all) in her Summer Ballad series. This tells the story of Brandon and JoBeth. It was very well written and Ms. Crowe wraps up the story with a bang. You also see all your old favorites from the first 3 books!! I liked it a lot.

Book Description
he saga of The Runelords reaches its climax in The Lair of Bones. Prince Gaborn, the Earth King, has defeated the forces arrayed against him: the magical and human forces marshalled by Raj Ahten, who seeks immortality at any cost, and has given up his humanity in trade; and the inhuman, innumerable, insectile hordes of the giant Reavers, from under the Earth, whose motives are unknowable. Now there must be a final confrontation, with the supernatural creature that Raj Ahten has become, and underground, in the cavernous homeland of the Reavers, where the sorcerous One True Master who rules them all lies in wait-in the Lair of Bones. The survival of the human race on Earth is at stake. Certain works of fantasy are immediately recognizable as monuments, towering above the rest of the category. Authors of those works, such as Stephen R. Donaldson, Robert Jordan and Terry Goodkind, come immediately to mind. Add to that list David Farland, whose epic fantasy series now reaches its peak.

Beyond pitiful.......2007-05-09
This is a continuation of a terribly written series of books. not only are the "deadly reavers" not scary, they aren't even realistic and die faster than roaches under bugspray ( in fact, in one sequence, Gaborn kills two of these terrible monsters and it is simply described as "they were quickly dipatched". What a joke. ) And to add misery, Farland continues to use terrible writing skills by using the same words over and over to dscribe things, and somehow characters like Myrimma become wizards overnight ( literally, she was scribing runes that the great master Binnesman had no idea what they were...when Myrimma had no experience in study of her new magic ). This whole series is a joke - I read it on the hope the Farland would get better, but instead it got worse. This should have been a short story ( especially since the whole series tkes place over approximately 2 weeks time including Gaborn become a master, Myrimma becoming a wizard and a champion archer and all this other nonsense. ) Give me a break. What a terrible author. STAY AWAY FROM THIS AUTHOR !! HE IS TERRIBLE !!!!
Almost an adequate ending. Almost........2007-04-17
You know, The Runelords series was made up of some pretty solid heroic fantasy novels with some good ideas and well-handled characterization. And moving into this book, I felt no decline in quality, right up until the last quarter of the novel, when I began to suspect that things went a little awry as Farland (Dave Wolverton) attempted to wrap things up. I don't know for certain why this happened, but I suspect a great deal of the problem came from the fact that his publisher, agent, and he himself all decided that another series following up on this one would sell better than an entirely new idea. If this was the case, shame on them.
The problem is that this book leaves out that extra hundred pages needed to conclude things for all of the plot threads and all of the characters. The most notably frayed, dangling thread was that of Asgaroth, Erin, and Celinor. In fact, that whole subplot was effectively ruined by this book. It seems Celinor magically lost all of his previous virtue in approximately two seconds and became a mindless pawn of evil. Before he was a well-fleshed, interesting character; what on Earth happened? (No pun intended). And why spend so much time on the subplot if you're just going to dismiss it with a couple of bylines in the last couple of chapters?
There are other niggling concerns, and almost all of the characters suffered from unsatisfying conclusions to their stories; some were ignored almost completely, while others were not given enough attention to satisfy. Other questions were also left unanswered, such as what happened regarding Myrimma's multiple endowments of metabolism.
At least the ending did not take the easy way out and give a happy ending to our other metabolically-burdened heroes. And the main plot was concluded logically and epically enough, to my satisfaction. The vast majority of the novel was very exciting, page-turning reading and no better or worse than the past three efforts. If the ending has been better, I would happily award this novel and series the full four stars I marked above.
As it stands, it's about a 3.5. And I will not be purchasing the second Runelords series, as I do not feel that the world and storyline of these four books justifies any further novels.
A Fitting Conclusion to an Original Series.......2007-01-12
I picked this book up just recently, after going back and re-reading the first three. Like one of the previus reviewer's said, you aren't re-introduced to characters, so if you've not read Book 3 in a while, you might want to re-acquaint yourself.
I finished this book in an afternoon, so it's an easy read. A lot of it seems to include a whole lot of people riding/running around from place to place, but overall, it all connects well in the end.
There are a few loose ends that don't get tied up, but if you stop and think about it, you can sort of draw your own conclusions...
**SPOILER**
I didn't care much for the end...oh it was wrapped up nicely, but I think most people like happy endings and this didn't really deliver there.
Disappointing.......2007-01-09
The first book of this series had great promise for fans of fantasy. Fast paced, and with an imaginative magic system, it seemed to be a unique gift to the fantasy setting that so often seems to be mere re-hashes of the tried and true formulae present in the settings that were set forth in Lord of the Rings. So, I was quite excited to get the final book in the series that seemed so promising. I loved the action sequences, and the precise way with which the author constructed the magic system and the consequences that it would have if one utilized it too much.
By the third book, the author was gearing up for what seemed to be a fantastic conclusion, and I was a bit skeptical that all of the plots could be wrapped up so neatly in one final volume, which, I understand, the Lair of Bones is. In fact, he did wrap things up far too neatly. Epic plot lines were destroyed in a few pages, with events transpiring in such a way as to make everything work out just perfectly, which never happens. There was no depth to any of the characters, and any danger that it seemed people were getting into was easily discarded or avoided. I never felt a real sense of peril or adventure, and I wanted to rush to get through to the end, which was, perhaps, the best part, simply because of its uncompromising nature.
I enjoy the fast pacing of the action scenes, but after one giant reaver, you've seen them all. There were no surprises at the end, and many of the earlier plot lines seemed to have absolutely no bearing on the conclusion to the saga. The book sagged at the conclusion. I felt no connection to any of what was going on, including the finale with Raj Ahten. If you've read through the first three and absolutely have to finish, then you might as well. If you're reading this to see if you should read the whole series, then you might want to consider another one.
Not the Best Finish.......2007-01-08
Seems as if Farland was under pressure to wrap this series up. After taking the time in the first three books to lay out several sub-plots and quite a few interesting characters he seems to abandon a great majority of them. The main plotline is resolved in a satisfying, albeit melancholy, manner. However, the several interesting threads involving other characters are either completely forgotten or explained away in a rapid fire manner in the final chapter.
On one hand it seems as if he is setting us up for another companion series, but on the other hand it seems as if he realized he had too many ideas and subplots going and decided to prune it down and finish the whole thing off.
Either way he has ended a 4-star series with a 3-star book, and I don't find that much to my liking! I was a bit worried after the third book in the series, Wizardborn, which was not as good as the first two. I think my worries came to fruition with this book. Of course if you are reading this review you've probably already bought and read the other books in the series-so you'll have to read this one and weigh in with your own opinion. I think you'll agree that this book does not quite leave you with the satisfaction you would like, or the satisfaction you expected after reading the first two outstanding volumes in the series, The Runelords and Brotherhood of the Wolf.
