When her daughter, Lily, dies from an apparent heroin overdose, Meg Storm transforms herself from housewife into a fighting phenom, and she vows to find out the truth about Lily's death.After becoming embroiled in a world as exotic as it is criminal, Storm gets swept into the drug world. She sees, firsthand, how far people involved in this world will go to continue their criminal activities. Enter Ismael Zambada García, also known as El Mayo Zambada (the mayor). Zambada is a Mexican drug lord who serves as leader of the Sinaloa Cartel in Mexico. But his reach is far and deadly. With illicit business dealings spanning the entire western U.S., Zambada has interests as far north as Washington State and into British Columbia, Canada. And he's a jealous drug lord. His dealers on one small but profitable island in the Pacific Northwest have found themselves at risk when a young woman, named Lily Storm, has become involved with the ringleader. In her "overtures", Lily has exposed the dealers to law enforcement by blogging about her experiences using heroin. Zambada makes sure they shut her up before she ruins all of it for him. When her husband also ends up dead, Meg Storm has nothing left to lose. With Zambada onto her, he goads her thinking it will scare her away. Unfortunately for him, the opposite is true. Zambada effectively pushes Meg Storm to the brink, she commits an unthinkable act. She kills the dealers she thinks are responsible for Lily and Jay's death. Doing so, she's played into the hands of law enforcement. She has left a key piece of evidence at the crime scene that implicates her. However, as ineffective as the island's law enforcement has become, they decide to use Meg as a Confidential Informant rather than charge her. Has Meg Storm become a pawn, a murderer, or both? THE DEATH OF VULTURES shows one woman's grit needed to deliver thunder on the island, enough to rain down justice on a dangerous few who intend to destroy other people's lives.… (plus d'informations)

I liked this book a lot. Meg turned into a fighter/survivor by the end of the story. In the beginning, Meg was a mother who had lost her daughter. Her whole world crumbled down around her. She lashed out at her husband; who in turn left her. What Meg didn't know was that her husband was doing his own investigation into the daughter of their daughter. Let's just say "curiosity killed the cat".
The story pitts Meg against her daughter's killers. The battle between them against Meg is pretty even. Which is a good thing as Meg really was the one that brought justice for her daughter. The authorities really took a back seat to the investigation. When it comes to the storyline, it was a good one with engaging characters and a nice ending. If this does not intrigue you to check out this book, I don't know what will. ( )
