After many years of work in intelligence infiltrating drug cartels in Mexico, Lonnie Bowers has finally retired. In a remote area in Canada, he has settled with his family on a ranch. Taking care of cattle and looking after his family are now his duties. When a stranger appears in his home to warn him that his life is in danger, he questions if his past has finally caught up with him. His belief that he had moved far away from his old life and that he was safe was no longer the case. Bowers’ life takes a turn for the worse when he gets shot. Someone has also shot his brother with all evidence pointing to him. Suddenly he is a fugitive, and he has to solve the mystery of who has shot Gus if he does not want to end up in jail as the culprit.

The book is written from the first-person point of view. Through Bowers, we get a glimpse into the criminal world. He projects his fears through his thoughts and actions. You can feel his need to protect his family. How much can a person take? This is an important question because this will determine his next course of action. His once quiet life is upside down, with his family’s life under threat. Will this be reason enough for him to rescind his decision to remain retired? Does he have to go back to Stirling Associates? What will he do to find the person who is after him? All these are questions that need answers which are in the novel.

The Fugitive (The Border Series–Book 5) is where David Griffith shows you what it takes to be undercover. The risks involved in infiltration work and the value of family. Griffith has built robust characters. I liked the values cultivated in the novel, like the value of family, the power of forgiveness, and the need for change. He shows it is never too late to change.

David Griffith has written a fast-paced novel that will appeal to the religious and non-religious. As much as there is some religious element, it does not interfere with the enjoyment of the book. You get to appreciate that being intelligent does not cover it all and that some things can only be attributed to God. The author did an amazing job with the book. It seems the book was professionally edited. I give it 4 out of 4 stars.

The book is captivating and full of action. I can recommend it to people who love action, crime, and mystery stories. The plot will keep you guessing. The guns and bullets will keep your heart beating together with the characters’.

It seems some enemy, whose gang Lonnie must have infiltrated at some point in time, is out to take his revenge. How will he prove himself innocent? Is intelligence not going to help him? Thanks for the intriguing review.
