Felipe “Flip” Morales returns to El Paso, Texas
after spending four years behind bars for armed robbery. He vows to stay out of trouble because he
does not want to return to prison.
However while incarcerated, the Aztecas’ Latino gang kept Flip safe. He soon has a second and third reason to
remain clean; as he wants to marry his beloved pregnant Graciela. However, Flip also knows he owes the Aztecas
big time and if chieftain José Martinez asks for remittance, Flip will pay his
debt.
A cross border police task force aims at
destroying the Aztecas. Single mother of
an autistic child, police officer Cristina Salas leads the American unit; while
in Ciudad Juarez, Matias Segura is in charge of the Mexican team. Caught in the middle, Flip becomes an informant
against Martinez with little hope of surviving the onslaught.
Tequila Sunset is a strong exciting border crime thriller
that catches the pulse of the twin cities separated by a fence. Fast-paced yet character driven by the lead
trio caught up in the operation to take down a violent gang, readers will enjoy
Sam Hawken’s second taut Texas-Mexico suspense drama (see The Dead Women of Juarez).
