Ex-Army Ranger Eli Colt thought he'd found his calling rescuing trafficked children through his Christian non-profit-until a routine mission at the Mexican border explodes into a deadly conspiracy.

When a planned return of rescued girls to their home in Juarez goes catastrophically wrong, Eli uncovers a trafficking network far more vast and protected than he imagined. With tentacles reaching from the violence-torn streets of Juarez to shadowy powers in the United States, this cartel doesn't just traffic children-it has the corruption and firepower to eliminate anyone who threatens its operation.

Partnering with his fearless teammate, a bold Mexican street preacher, and a woman desperate to break free from the cartel's grip, Eli launches a high-stakes mission to dismantle the network before more innocent lives are destroyed. But as the body count rises and time runs out for the children caught in the crossfire, Eli must confront not only ruthless enemies but his own physical limitations and the boundaries of his faith.

In a pulse-pounding race against evil, one man's quest for redemption becomes a battle for survival-and the lives of the innocent hang in the balance.

Evil on the Southern Border is a gripping Christian action thriller that exposes the brutal reality of border trafficking while celebrating the power of sacrificial love and unwavering faith. Book two in the Eli Colt series delivers relentless suspense, complex characters, and a mission that will keep you reading long into the night.

Perfect for fans of Tom Clancy, Vince Flynn, and readers who demand both edge-of-your-seat action and stories with purpose.
