James (or, as he likes to call himself, Jesse) Filorino is a
cocksure college student when we meet him, with fantasies of the
good life. After he helps cause the death of a nasty thief, though,
he backs away from his wild side, and signs up for a career with
the U.S. Border Patrol. The reality of the work is far from
glamorous. Patrolling the highways and railways in the middle of
nowhere in southern Texas, the lulls between the dangerous and
sometimes gruesome sites are so boring and lonely he starts to
unravel. Worst of all, the women he pursues seem to prefer the
high-rolling drug smugglers he is paid to catch and arrest. One
night, on a deserted road, temptation arrives in the form of a
trunk load of cash and cocaine. The driver is a young punk he has
met before. Yes, he could arrest this guy, but he'd be no better
off than before. Instead, he puts two bullets in the back of the
drug-dealer's head, and spends the next weeks scrambling to cover
up the crime. The Author began his federal career as a United
States Border Patrol Agent and worked as a Federal Agent for over
25 years. He used his experiences in the field to create this
fictional story from a real event.
