Lassiter/Martinez Case Files

Joseph Badal

A tense contemporary thriller set against the dangerous and politically charged landscape of the U.S.–Mexico border, where criminal enterprise, corruption, and national security collide. As a determined investigator pursues a case that reaches far beyond ordinary law enforcement, loyalties are tested and the consequences of failure grow increasingly severe. Blending action, suspense, and moral complexity, the novel explores the human cost of violence and the blurred boundaries between justice, power, and survival.
