[Pete Cortez 01] • Rancho Buena Fortuna

Two criminal oligarchs, one Mexican, the other French, secretly join forces to make their extensive logistics and distribution networks available to global terrorists...for a price.

Their instrument is a mercurial Venezuelan known as Fósforo, like the match you strike to spark a flame. Their orchestrator is a young Stanford-educated engineer named Graciela Montoya. And standing between them and the deaths of thousands of innocents is FBI Special Agent Porfirio "Pete" Cortez.

Pete Cortez is a goner and he knows it. His once promising career is now in serious jeopardy and the vultures in blue suits are circling in for the kill. As if that isn't bad enough, a crazed drug enforcer with an eye toward revenge wants him dead.

RANCHO BUENA FORTUNA is the first book in Bill King's mystery/thriller series about a fifth-generation Texan whose sense of right and wrong often brings him into conflict with the leadership of his chosen profession.

If you enjoy idiosyncratic characters like John Sandford's Lucas Davenport, you'll love Pete Cortez.
