Drug interdiction, money laundering, and terrorist-related matters interweave to make one exciting and compelling story. This country can be proud of these dedicated and selfl ess American patriots.

About the Author

The author has one previously published book, Walking Point, which was the story about his experiences as an infantryman in the jungles of Vietnam. After over thirty years in the U.S. government, the last twenty as a supervisory Customs inspector in charge of the drug and terrorist team, he is now retired and lives in Norwood, Massachusetts. He enjoys spending time with his nine grandchildren and serving with the Coast Guard Auxiliary out of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Teaching veterans who are making the transition from military to civilian life at University of Massachusetts Boston is also a passion of the author. Additionally, he is intimately involved with Child Medical Connection, a nonprofit organization helping disabled Vietnamese children receive medical care in the United States.
