Book description
Lily Rae is on holiday in El Paso, Texas, when she's kidnapped by a
Mexican drug cartel. The young Canadian's disappearance is investigated
by undercover mountie Jack Taggart, who discovers a Canadian link to the
cartel and penetrates the organization. El Paso borders on one of the
most dangerous cities in the world - Ciudad Juarez, Mexico - a city
caught in the grip of a war between cartels. They control most of the
law enforcement and are able to commit horrific crimes with little fear
of repercussion. Taggart has strict orders to stay out of Juarez, but
his gut instinct directs him otherwise. In Juarez, Taggart plays his
role, and the investigation seems to be going smoothly - until the
cartel discovers his true identity.
Practically torn from the headlines, Birds of a Feather
will keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you questioning
right and wrong.
“This frightening picture of Canada's favourite winter holiday place
is strengthened by the fact that Don Easton is a former undercover cop
who was sent to El Paso, where his investigations led him across the
border to [Ciudad-Juarez]. Reality talks.” Don Easton's premise for
writing this novel came from personal experience. He was a former RCMP
undercover operative who had been sent to El Paso where his
investigation then took him into Juarez.
