Synopsis
Path to Justice exposes the harsh realities and sacrifices necessary to build
a case against a ruthless drug cartel, the Baja Norte Familia. Insights and
strategies for conducting a complex international investigation and for
trying a drug distribution, money laundering, and murder conspiracy
case in federal court is interwoven with perilous confrontations with the
cartel. The reader lives the case with the career prosecutor and veteran
agents--how they think and how they banter to get by.
Path to Justice takes the reader from the Montana-Canadian woods, the
ice-bound lakes of Glacier National Park, and the plains of Kansas to the
beaches of San Diego and the hills above Rosarito Beach, Baja California
Norte.
The lead prosecutor and chief of a federal task force, Nick Drummond,
struggles with personal demons and his relationship with task force
agent Ana Schwartz in his efforts to convict the heads of the Familia
cartel. In Drummond's Path to Justice, he faces the ethical dilemma of
his career.
