Escape From Mexico - Mike Jackson - Bog

Three characters introduced in Monster's Palace-Clyde Feegle, Josephine (Jo) Kelly, and Mitch Melosi-return in this book, Escape From Mexico, Jim Scot Books #27. Clyde becomes a partner in Bob Becker and Bill Hedden's detective/protection agency. He and Jo move into a new home, constructed for them on Bob's estate.
The three partners get into a shootout with members of a drug cartel, intent on killing a St. Charles, Missouri judge. The cartel then adds the three men to their hit list. This-and the arrest of Mitch Melosi's sister, after she tries to enter Nogales, Mexico with a load of weapons in the trunk of her rental car-soon see Jim and Holly Scott lending a hand. Some of Hector Garcia's men also enter the fray.
Also in this book we deal with the growing concern in law enforcement circles of the illegal use of drones that will only get worse in the years ahead…in this case involving Air Force One.
Mexico seems intent on arresting U.S. citizens who obviously are not actually trying to import weapons into their country, and running them through their laughable justice system. This story touches on that situation, and also on Mexico's inability to stem the flow of drugs into the U.S., by taking down the large drug cartels in their midst. Let us hope our next President has the backbone to deal with this situation.
