Al Dawson
Borderlines by Al Dawson
Jace Kelly is a successful prosecutor battling drug and human trafficking on the southern border. But lurking are political forces that are seeking to replace him. After the son of a cartel chieftain is captured in a major drug bust, events take a menacing turn when Kelly’s sister and daughter are taken hostage by the cartel as trade bait for an exchange. Kelly must decide whether his oath as a federal officer matters more than his family. Can he trust his own government, or should he take matters into his own hands? These borderline decisions will lead to a dizzying series of events involving cartel conflicts, a terrorist cell, a cross border rescue attempt, and manhunts on both sides of the border.
- Trapped between cartels, shadowy terrorists and a government that wants him out, Jace will face choices to save his family and his own life in a war where lines between right and wrong, good and evil, legal and illegal wiii be increasingly blurred.
- When a huge shipment of cocaine is captured by US agencies on the southern border, it is only the beginning of a train of events where cartel empires, terrorists and Washington politics will collide, and Jace and his family are in the line of fire.
- Blood, betrayal and terror will meet on the scorching deserts of northern Mexico where Jace must find a way to rescue his family and save his own life.
- With disgrace, or imprisonment, or even death in the bargain, what will be in store for Jace Kelly?
