Luke Donovan, a seasoned by-the-book FBI agent reaches a turning point as he discovers he’s fallen in love with his chief suspect Dr. Jeanine Hunter; a mysterious young physician who has captivated him and may be smuggling organs to a South American crime lord.
It’s the hot, steamy summer of 1990 and Luke Donovan, was hand picked to lead a small team of FBI agents to solve the crime. Unbeknownst to Donovan, he is being manipulated by a political machine nested in the United States’ Justice Department. In order to investigate Dr. Hunter, he immerses himself into her world of sleepless nights, long hours, personal sacrifices and momentous life changes. He witnesses her total devotion to her craft. Simultaneously, Dr. Hunter’s world is completely turned upside down as she realizes she is being accused of a heinous crime. THIN YELLOW LINE is a story of her personal journey as a woman and as a physician. Along the way, she must address the demons of her past while having to trust a man who could send her to prison for the rest of her life. These characters try to form a relationship under the surveillance of the Justice Department. Dr. Hunter must endure life as a resident physician and survive the sinister world of narco-terrorism. Galveston Island with its rich history and tropical tumultuous weather, becomes as much of a character in the novel as its inhabitants.
