FIVE STAR REVIEW FROM READERS’ FAVORITE:
“I was hooked from the first page and could not put it down until the very end.“
In Justice in the Desert: A Vacation of Violence by Jimmy Ray Conner, Kate and Chris Taylor’s planned vacation turned into pure hell. Evie could not join Kate and so asked Debra’s daughter Melody if she would like to go shopping with Kate. Former undercover agent Kent noticed Kate and Melody following a woman down an alley, but only the woman returned.
Kate and Melody had been abducted by the Sinaloa cartel. Chris was devastated by his wife and Steve’s teenage daughter being in the hands of one of the most deadly criminal groups. Former Green Beret Steve was determined to find Melody no matter what, and Kent was confident that his years of experience working as an undercover agent against the Sinaloa Cartel would enable him to assist in the two women’s rescue.
Jimmy Ray Conner’s Justice in the Desert had an intricate and captivating plot. It was action-packed from the start, and it never let go throughout. I was hooked from the first page and could not put it down until the very end. This book had me on the edge of my seat, turning the pages as fast as I could. There were so many twists and turns, and I never knew what would happen next. I was guessing all the way.
The characters were realistic and could have been anyone I know. Because of their diverse backgrounds and skill sets, Chris, Steve, and Kent worked well together as a team. This thriller was well-written and far exceeded my expectations. The conclusion was fitting after everything that had occurred.

Homicide detective Chris Taylor and his attorney wife, Kate, are on a two-week vacation to sunny Southern California for golf, shopping, and sightseeing. The newly married couple looks forward to a well-deserved rest.
Kate and her teenage friend Melody are violently abducted from the streets of downtown Palm Springs in broad daylight by a gang of human sex traffickers. The brutal Sinaloa Cartel intends to transport these two women deep into Mexico for sale to the highest international bidders.
Chris and Melody’s father, along with a disillusioned former DEA agent, enter Mexico covertly to get the women back and punish the cartel members who kidnapped their loved ones. In Mexico, the men encounter local villagers who are willing to go against the despised Sinaloa Cartel if they can be armed and trained. With the secret support of the US Department of Homeland Security and Drug Enforcement Administration, the men make that happen.
After attacking the cartel stronghold and rescuing the two women from the insidious grasp of the cartel, the team heads for the safety of the US border – 150 miles north without using any roads or highways.
They must cross the inhospitable Sonoran Desert, where daytime temperatures as high as 120 degrees, hazardous terrain, and poisonous critters await.
Chased by heavily armed gangs from every cartel in Mexico, the rescue team faces dangerous risks every day on their perilous journey north, including an arid desert filled with natural hazards and a looming hurricane. They are running for their very lives, and time is running out.
Can this hardy group of Americans survive the deadly heat and the destructive effects of a major hurricane? Can they escape the hundreds of murderous cartel thugs who seek vengeance?
