Description

LIMITED TIME OFFER

Lily Rae is on holiday in El Paso, Texas, when she’s kidnapped by a Mexican drug cartel. El Paso borders on one of the most dangerous places in the world - Ciudad Juarez, Mexico - a city caught in the grip of a war between cartels.

Her disappearance is investigated by undercover Mountie Jack Taggart, who discovers a Canadian link to the cartel and penetrates the organization. Taggart is sent to El Paso, where he is partnered with special U.S. Customs agent John Adams. Neither Taggart nor Adams know they have been paired together for a secret purpose.

Taggart has strict orders to stay out of Juarez, but his gut instinct directs him otherwise. 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.

Watch for Corporate Asset coming in September 2013.

Editorial Reviews

“Birds of a Feather is filled with moments of sheer terror that will keep the readers turning pages faster and faster as it builds.”

— Bookgasm.com

“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.”

— The Saskatoon Star-Phoenix

“Birds of a Feather is an adrenaline spiked story with race car style pacing and a tension filled plot. Author Easton tells his well researched stories with such blunt bold passion that you really wonder where the line between fiction and reality lies.”

— Hamilton Spectator
