Distrito Bravo: The Outlaw District
()
About this ebook
Conflict at the U.S./Mexico border has been brewing for decades . . .
. . . but the drug lords aren't the only enemy.
In the lawless Distrito Bravo region, U.S. Customs Special Agent James Marchant develops a fearsome reputation for his uncanny ability to ambush drug smugglers and thwart their deals.
Surprisingly, his success is largely due to his determination to treat all people with respect and dignity. Marchant forges indelible friendships with civilians on both sides of the border and also with some of the very criminals he pursues. The brave souls in Marchant's network risk everything to help him.
When his victories attract attention in Washington, D.C., Marchant soon learns the cartels aren't the only enemy he faces. Corrupt individuals within U.S. government agencies are profiting from the continued war on drugs—but he stands in their way.
Marchant confronts dangerous foes both within his government and across the border, finding courage in his commitment to truth and justice. His experience on the front lines of America's drug war shines a light on current border policies, their effect on the region, and the truth about how high-stakes decisions are actually made.
