Line in the Sand

“The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” – Arabian Proverb When a ruthless Mexican cartel aligns itself with an Afghani drug kingpin, the Southwest border soon becomes flooded with heroin. But are they planning to import something more deadly than narcotics into the United States? Their reasons are simple, the former for profit, and the latter for revenge. Meanwhile, a new informant introduces US Border Patrol agents Alexander Matthews and Sylvia Cabrera to the tangled web of a violent criminal enterprise. But when the system fails them, will a spur of the moment decision cost the pair their partnership, their careers, and possibly their lives? An investigation that started with cross border trafficking will lead to drugs, guns and the uncovering of a plot that brings the War on Terror into a new and frightening phase. Line in the Sand is the literary debut of a former Senior Border Patrol agent. Though fiction, the narrative brings to life the true relationship between the global narcotics trade, international terrorism and the very real threat to America.
