Daggers in the Desert

Daggers in the Desert is a novel of adventure in the life of a simple Mexican cardboard-box collector (cartonero) and a US Border Patrol agent on the Rio Grande border of South Texas and Northern Mexico. Far from the life he had known in Georgia, the agent fights heat, drugs, coyotes (human smugglers), and himself in the dusty Laredo sector of the 1970s with a 97 percent Hispanic population.
