The Immigrant and the Golden Coin by Dorothy May Mercer

By removing the submarines, this will force the cartel to once again send the cocaine by land through Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. These boats seek out and capture submarines owned by the Mexican drug cartel that ship cocaine to the U.S.

The second scenario is two coast guard boats, one is captained by Captain Billy Burns of The Merrimac and the other captained by his wife, Captain Lynn Lycombe-Burns of the Monitor. The point of the scenario is how drugs kill and waste lives, but is buried because that portion of the novel from then on centers on the little girl and the people who love her, take her and adopt her. The parents are dead and from the looks of the bodies, without the autopsy it is obvious they died from a mixture of drugs. Detective Mike McBride arrives, he finds a two and a half year old little girl, filthy, but highly intelligent who is able to place a box beneath the security clasp on the inside of the door and let the police in. The first scenario is about a young couple whose lives are a mess and then one day the neighbor calls 911 because they are fighting so violently. This is a story that has three main scenarios, all of which lead to the message that this book is sending: (1) why men and women attempt to enter the United States from Mexico, Central and South America illegally, and (2) the horrific perils they face when they attempt to enter without a permit. We will leave you guessing just who this is and how it works out. Each novel in the series features a unique wedding.

Lovers of romantic suspense will enjoy the light-hearted moments between Mike, his girl, friends and family, as well as his super dog, Lady, who has been a favorite of readers of this series. Mike has a girl friend, Juliette who he continues to see, during his off hours. At one point he is called away from Carson City to reinforce and help patrol the border, with its smugglers, snipers and dangerous desert conditions.Īlso, he is trying to infiltrate the West Coast Drug Cartel in order to learn more about their operations and bring them to justice. Mike McBride, stationed in the fictitious town of Carson City, New Mexico, deals with multiple incidences of crime in his town and along the border with Mexico. One thread of the plot deals with a poor immigrant from South America making the terrible journey up through Mexico to cross the border into the United States.

The book is incredibly exciting, and timely.
