Book Description

Publication Date: August 24, 2007

In the nether world of the Mexican drug trade, men and women on both sides of the border wage an ill-fated "war on drugs" against a formidable enemy in command of an army of ruthless killers with endless resources. Amid this amoral world of violence, a three way romance is forged between the striking and athletic DEA agent Fernanda Deering, the dashing but conniving Jaime Nunez, a "sub comandante" in the PGR - Mexico's elite enforcement agency - and George Redfield, a "bon vivant" bi-cultured Pulitzer Prize winning journalist.

Editorial Reviews

Review

An unusual and sensuous triangle romance set against a backdrop of the Mexican world of "narcotraffic". A terrific read - once you start, it's hard to put down. --Clifford Irving, author of "The Hoax"

Mr. Butterfield confirms the issue that illegal drugs are an integral part of American culture and the economy of Mexico. --Jorge Fernandez Menendez, author of "El Otro Poder" (a history of Mexican drug traffic)
