Title: Crossfire
I found this on the bookshelf at the library. It called to me because you could tell it’s been well read. So that and the idea of a good urban fiction sounded fun. The first scene really had some potential. The scene was of a group of narcos busting the cartel mid-action of a huge drug trade off. Money in exchange for a lot of cocaina. Conveniently this cartel dude that has all the politicians in his back pocket were so unassuming that not only did they hand themselves, red handed, to the narcos with nary any resistance. Plus the kicker of the whole scene was that the drug cartel dude conveniently had his books with him. Mz. Windle had all the makings for a killer scene. One to really set the hook instead it was a dud. Better luck next time.
