A Customs Affair (Paperback)

Set in 1978, this suspense-thriller examines the life of a young widowed Customs Inspector, Christine Keaton, a single mother, who is trying to balance her life and manage her career in the days of the women's movement when women were rare and sometimes unwelcome in the male dominated world of law enforcement. The crash of a flight from Bogota, Columbia on the runway of J.F.K. Airport where Christine works leads to an investigation of the smuggling of cocaine and child pornography into the United States which quickly becomes personal as a passenger who lays dying points the way to a drug cartel, begging Christine to stop the atrocities committed by the leaders of the cartel, some of which involve the abuse of children. The United States Customs Service jumps in, and Christine is at the forefront of the investigation which changes her life forever as she faces an adversary so evil and powerful that it becomes doubtful that even the full force of the U.S. government can stop him. A novel of courage, hope, action, love, and suspense, A Customs Affair gives the reader an insider's view of the U.S. Customs Service in the 1970's when women were new to law enforcement careers and before technology all but eliminated the hands on, high risk business of a Customs Inspector.
