Action, suspense, and even some paranormal weirdness come together in another Charlie Hood borderlands mystery. The drug and gun trades, while nominally the subject matter, are really only the backdrop to a cast of complicated characters, including the good-guy lawman Hood. David Colacci portrays a considerable range of personalities with effective vocal interpretation. His gentle delivery, while short on strongly individual voices, manages beautiful character differentiation and a wonderful flow of the narrative and description. His acting ability and experience give him impeccable timing and pacing. This is a middle title in a series with more reason than some to get into its other titles, starting with L.A. OUTLAWS.

ATF agent Sean Ozburn is deep undercover, supporting the sicarios of the North Baja Cartel, when he suddenly goes completely dark, leaving Charlie Hood and the support team from Operation Blowdown with a safe house full of bodies and no explanation. Sean's only communication in the following days consists of a series of haunting digital videos sent to his desperately worried wife, Seliah.
As he pieces together evidence of his friend's strange quest and searches the border landscape, following faint signals to the man's whereabouts, Charlie Hood must determine if Oz is simply chasing demons deeper undercover than anyone has ever gone, or whether his friend has suffered a permanent break with his mission and his moral compass.
A crime novel of unprecedented scope and unrivaled storytelling ambition, The Border Lords revisits the fevered landscape of America's southern border-and confronts the unexplored depths of humanity's dark soul.
