He robs a store and takes off in his pickup truck, looking for “the mountain in the air” described to him by a ghost. A blend of magical realism, travelogue, and post-climate change dystopia, this book has a 4.41 average rating on Goodreads from readers who describe it as “wonderful,” “original and interesting,” and “a tale told vividly.” $0.99 on Kindle.

THE QUIET HOUSES

Fall of the Narcs

DEA Agent Jeff Moore was portrayed by actor Bradley Cooper in Clint Eastwood’s movie, The Mule.

Jeff’s New York Times interview regarding his arrest of the world’s oldest and most successful cartel mule, Leo Sharp, became the basis for this film.

Inspired by real events, Jeff has now written the narrative crime thriller, The Quiet Houses.

Jeff transitioned to law enforcement after finding himself unemployed from his comfortable suburban job as a graphic artist. In 2003, Jeff spent a year undercover as a street junky visiting violent drug houses throughout Kansas City, Missouri alongside his informant, Tamera Mack, a boisterous, street-wise African American woman.

His life-changing and unbelievable journey with Tammy through a sea of lost souls, dangerous men and corrupt cops gives the reader a story that is difficult to put down.

Almost two decades later, Jeff is currently a DEA Special Agent in Detroit, Michigan.

CODE NAME: THE FOX - Operation Durango Cartel
Two years since the rape and murder of Harold Brandon’s beloved wife, Shelly, he strikes his scythe of vengeance upon one man and his entire cartel.

“Hey gringo, are you lost?”

“No. Not lost. Looking for someone.”

“Who are you looking for?”

“I’m looking for a dead man.”

***

Shelly was raped and murdered by the Sonora Cartel two years ago. And since then, Harold has been juggling his sorrow and rage amid a standing contract on his life set at one million dollars.

When a grieving former drug-lord-turned-minister-turned-contractor is also being hunted like prey, he adapts.

Harold was forced to hide in the shadows and isolate himself from friends and family. He was also driven to undergo plastic surgery twice.

Heartbroken, seething, unrecognizable, and with unlimited government resources at his disposal, Harold now has the upper hand and plots to find Enrique, the Sonora Cartel’s #2 man, with every intention of killing him — slowly and in true cartel fashion.

Just like how they killed his wife.

Rising Wind

This suspense action series of the Rising Wind series by Diane Olsen with book three, a prequel to the first two books, so it’s not necessary to have read the first two begins with the lead characters, Sage Dalton and L.W., are the parents of the main character in the other Rising Wind books. Although the characters are different and it is set in an earlier time period, the tone of the book is very similar. This time they discover an ancient text in a Mexican desert tomb that leads Sage, L.W., and a group of fellow explorers to Tibet where they find themselves in the middle of a war. Even with danger at every turn, they still manage to discover secret caves that lead them toward an elusive yet powerful Book of Hope.
Just like the other books in the series, the author combines three strong story elements to make for a fun, exciting, and educational read. First, and foremost, her books have a superb cast of characters that readers can easily relate to. They care about each other, work together to achieve a common goal, laugh together, and cry together. Second, her stories revolve around rare ancient discoveries found all around the world. Much like the great Indiana Jones films, each new discovery comes with an element of danger.
Sometimes the danger comes from a person or an organization that wants to keep the discovery for themselves, or the danger comes from the object itself, or sometimes it’s a little of both. The third common theme is an embracing of all world religions. Religion is somehow intertwined with each rare find that the characters make. This book is a fun read filled with colorful characters and lots of action. I recommend it for fans of character-driven adventure who like to learn about science, ancient civilizations, and world religions along the way.

From $0.99 to $1.99 on Kindle.
