Death in the Desert Deals With Illegal Immigration and Terrorism Issues

Death in the Desert (Moonlight Mesa Associates, 2008) may be more nonfiction than fiction as it portrays Arab-sponsored Mexican drug cartels bent on bringing economic and moral ruin to the United States. Ultimately the goal is to see a Mexican flag waving at the White House, while Americans are on their knees begging for mercy...in Spanish.Although the book is a distant sequel to Northern Escape, the award-winning suspense novel published by Helm Publishing in 2006, Death in the Desert easily stands alone. Interestingly, the book introduces Jake Starr, an engagingly flawed U.S. Marshal with his own personal agenda for revenge despite the havoc raging around him. For those who may wonder, there is no comparison intended between Starr and real life Maricopa County Sheriff, Joe Arpaio. Many have already asked if there will be a Jake Starr follow-up. For now, the answer is no.The fact remains, and the book succinctly makes this point, this country is grossly vulnerable to illegal
immigration with its thousands of miles of shoreline, its hundreds of ports of entry, and its 2000 miles of southern border. Increasing evidence points to the fact that criminals and terrorists of the worst sort are now illegally crossing the U.S./Mexican border daily.An unpopular fact is that the flow of narcotics into this country is a consumer-driven problem. No demand...no business. This may seem a hard line approach to a complex problem, but the fact remains, if people did not buy and use illegal chemicals, the entrepreneurial Mexican drug smuggler would earn his wages doing something altogether different. Thousands of lives would not be lost in the drug wars, and despair would not descend on quite so many.This brutal book is not for the queasy - but the truth rarely is.
