About this ebook

In Betrayal at the Border, attorney Zachary Blake returns to tackle two cases that strike at the heart of our nation's contentious immigration debate.

In Riverview, Michigan, undocumented immigrants Miguel and Mary Carmen Gonzalez are determined to realize the American dream. They find jobs at a local filler plant, have children, and lead an all-American life, that is until ICE raids their plant . . .

 

Canan and Karim Izady are naturalized citizens of the United States. They have immigrated legally from Kurdistan and have an American-born daughter, Hana. Unable to persuade her mother to follow the young family to America, Canan and Hana travel to an ISIS hotbed so the child may meet her grandmother for the first time. With the war over, what could possibly go wrong?

 

Two unique immigrant families, two uniquely dangerous consequences of America's dysfunctional immigration system. Enter Zachary Blake, superstar lawyer. 

But, for the first time in a long time, Blake is out of his element—immigration law calls for the expertise of his specialist/partner, Marshall Mann. Together, two extraordinary lawyers take on a terrorist network and a broken immigration system. And master investigator Micah Love returns, racing against the clock to prevent tragic circumstances. In our politically charged, anti-immigrant international climate, will a Hail Mary be their only move?

 

Award-winning legal thriller author, Mark M. Bello, pits our nation's broken immigration system against important human and social justice rights issues, spinning a tale that shines a bright light on the everyday fears of immigrants all over the United States. Can Blake, Mann, and Love prevent a Betrayal at the Border?

    Mark M Bello's Betrayal at The Border is book number seven of the Zachary Blake Legal Thriller series and a great addition it is.

    In earlier books in this series, Bello created a strong and durable protagonist who I have grown to love and care for in following books, so I was only too eager to follow Blake as his new story unfolds and the character is continued.

    Even though this tale belongs to a series, the plot is so well-constructed that I think it can easily be read as a standalone. It is definitely an entertaining read that should not be missed by thriller fans.

    Betrayal At The Border is definitely another great read with great character building and a fast-paced and solid plot line. I really enjoyed reading this and I'm looking forward to the next Zachary Blake case!
