Synopsis
Set in the Arizona desert, Death in the Desert brings the current fiascos with the Mexican border, illegal immigration and drug issues to literature through a fast-paced, compelling, fictitious scenario. Deaths, drugs and despair leave their mark across the torpid stretch of desert along the Arizona border as an Arab-sponsored Mexican drug cartel is bent on seeing a Mexican flag waving at the White House, and Americans on their knees begging for mercy...in Spanish. Revenge and reconciliation are the key issues in this controversial, action-packed novel.
Review
Coffield has done it again! Diabolical villains, innocent victims, and noble but engagingly flawed heros weave their way through a tangle of mystery and intrigue as heated as the Sonoran Desert itself. A completely satisfying read that will leave you clamoring for more. --Paula Silici, Author and Editor
Death in the Desert is a fast paced, romantic thriller taken right out of the nightly news! R.L. Coffield brings back ace investigator Ben Thomas and Chloe Littlebird, the former Alaska State Trooper that fans came to love in Northern Escape. As Thomas and Littlebird investigate drug-related murders in the southwestern United States, Coffield again demonstrates an ability to combine convoluted plot, vivid characterization, and international tensions - a read that is terrifying in its implications! --Tom McDannold, Author, Publisher and Professor
The plot is terrifying and the action nonstop as Detective Ben Thomas, P.I. Chloe Littlebird and Arizona's Marshal Jake Starr uncover a conspiracy that will see a Mexican flag waving at the White House...This is a must read for anybody concerned with this country's border issues. --T. Jerome, Editorial Assist., Moonlight Mesa Associates
