I received a gifted copy and am providing a review.
James Butler, an attorney, has been very interested in the case of
a DEA agent, one Special Agent Enrique Camarena, who was killed in 1985. Mr.
Butler was so interested in this case that he began his own investigation, on
his own time, with the support of the law firm he worked at. He enlisted the
help of Erica Walsh, the paralegal at the firm, who also happens to be the
daughter of the firm’s owner, Brian. While Brian is not instrumental in Mr.
Butler’s investigation, he didn’t stop it and supported their efforts. During
the course of their investigation, Mr. Butler and Ms. Walsh began to uncover
some information that was either overlooked or buried so deep in the documents
they found that people started surfacing … shady people … who didn’t want the
truth uncovered. There are quite a few characters in this book which sometimes
makes it hard to keep up with, but they are all vital to this story. There may
even be just the tiniest hint at a budding romance.
The things I appreciate about this book:
It is Mr. Luellen’s first book … the ending leads me to believe
Mr. Butler and Ms. Walsh will be having another adventure. It will be
interesting to see what these two stumble upon next.
It is written with heart. By that I mean, I can tell by the tone
that Mr. Luellen has spent many, many hours, months, maybe even a year or two
researching this book, believing in his book.
The fact that it is so well researched lends more to the factual
storyline. If you like history based on happenings in the US, I’m sure you’ll
enjoy this read.
