<p>Death in the Desert brings the current fiascos with the Mexican border, illegal immigration and drug issues to literature through a fast-paced, compelling, fictitious scenario that is politically and socially very timely. Deaths, drugs and despair leave their mark across the torpid stretch of desert along the Arizona border and into towns and cities across America. The novel proposes that the elusive weapons of mass destruction that the Americans have waged a war against are not nuclear missiles and chemically engineered diseases. Rather, the real weapons of mass destruction grow in poppy and coca fields round the world, fields that the United States government subsidizes. An Arab-sponsored Mexican drug cartel is bent on seeing a Mexican flag waving at the White House, and Americans on their knees begging for mercy...in Spanish.</p>
