Devil's Trade

Step back four decades in time and explore Baja, sailing and diving the Sea of Cortez in these stories of romance and adventure. Peel back a few layers of international smuggling, misguided policy, miscreant spycraft, bad intelligence and conspiracy theories in remote parts of the world. Follow Bill Barrett as he heads south of the border attempting to escape his personal demons, only to have his life complicated by a Mexican girl whose baggage leads them down a dangerous path. Their idyllic life is turned upside down by Ronald Reagan's 'War on Drugs' when Billy and Pearl agree to become DEA assets. The transformation triggers a journey through the backwaters of Mexico and Central America, and ultimately to clashes with the forces behind international drug and weapons trafficking, assassination, and Iran-Contra. You know how that ends; or do you? 300 pages.
