Fiction, Thriller / suspense
A gritty thriller set in the criminal underworld along the U.S.-Mexico border - and a young cop going undercover to bring down the cartel.
Mulholland Books presents... TRIPLE CROSSING
The US-Mexico border is a smuggler's paradise.
For Valentine Pescatore, a US border agent trying to hold back the tide of drugs, money, guns and people, it feels more like hell. But when he gets in trouble and is recruited by federal investigator Isabel Puente to go undercover, he realises things can always get worse.
In Tijuana, Mexican anti-corruption chief Leo Mendez has made enemies on both sides of the law. Pescatore could be an ally. But in a world built on lies, how does anyone know who to trust? As violence escalates, the answer comes in bloodshed and betrayal.
