Sinossi

Anselmo, with his young companion Gregorio, is once again on a mission on behalf of his order and, summoned by the abbot, he travels to an isolated monastery built on the ruins of an ancient city devoted to the worship of blasphemous and bloodthirsty deities. But once again, he cannot imagine what awaits him. In fact, he finds himself once again forced to investigate a series of brutal murders of clergymen, carried out with such cruelty that it raises suspicions that someone in this sacred place is driven by a deep and long-repressed hatred. And that perhaps the extraordinary celestial events of those days have evoked it.The search for the culprit will also be a journey through some of the most terrible pages in the history of medieval heresy. A journey to a place dedicated to the glory of God, but which will also reveal itself to be a place where unsuspected trafficking takes place and unmentionable vices are cultivated.

    Blame the booze, her shaky marriage, her troubled son, or a thousand other things, but Jewelann Jordan has one thing on her mind when she attends her class reunion: making sure her old crush Christian Campbell sees exactly what he lost all those years ago. A late night, a hotel room, a rekindled flame that burns even hotter than it did back then—what could go wrong? Everything. The night with Christian isn't the first secret Jewelann has kept from her husband Ken, so one more shouldn't be much harder—except that Christian shows up without warning, seemingly determined to do his best to mess up Jewelann's life in any way he can. Worse than that, he seems to have his sights set on charming her son, Eli, and befriending her husband. Revenge isn't so sweet when it bites you back, but Jewelann is determined to keep Christian from ruining everything she's worked so hard to keep safe, including her son. Fighting to keep it all from spiraling out of control, Jewelann discovers Christian is not the man he claims to be. When darker secrets emerge, even closer to home, Jewelann takes the chance to turn the tables on him. The more Jewelann digs for the truth, the uglier—and the deadlier—it gets.

    Chance Barkley left the drug world in the seventies, but is approached by a name from the past, Bull Curry, who heads a Texas Syndicate that has ruled the Southwest for over 30 years with ties that go deep into Mexico.  Curry has unearthed Harlan Taggert, A DEA Agent out of the El Paso office, who is digging around one of his operatives, and wants to put a deal together.  Curry wants him stopped. When you mix retired troubleshooters, the Texas Syndicate, and dirty federal agents with ten million dollars to spend on cocaine and heroin, you get the idea that the border is wide open, and any dog can rule the pack. And it's as real as the thousands of dead bodies that are buried from Culiacan to El Paso.Terminal Exposure is all these things and more. As the story unfolds you will understand more the depth of criminal activity that occurs daily on our southern border. It will tell you how it will never change unless Chance Barkley and his newly formed strike team succeeds in stopping Taggert and proving his guilt to the DEA.    The first of a three-part series, Terminal Exposure sets the tone for everything that is happening from Brownsville, Texas to Tiajuana, Mexico, from Peking to Sinaloa, and from the White House to China. Although a work of fiction, Terminal Exposure is factually accurate in its historical development of the border power struggles that plague the USA to this day.
