Spotlighting this DEBUT NOVEL from Joel Galloway!
Learn more about this thriller about the Mexican cartel below.
The realities of Mexican drug cartels are not for the faint
of heart, and neither is a new thriller from stunning debut talent Joel
Galloway. CRUSADER follows a former DEA
Agent who has been captured, tortured, and left for dead in the Mexican
wilderness. He is discovered and brought to a monastery where he is healed by a
polymath Catholic priest. Eventually the protagonist becomes devoted to the
priest’s cause. He is transformed into a holy warrior, reminiscent of the
Knights Templars, and will stop at nothing in his fight against the cartels to
protect the innocent.
The tale is
set against the backdrop of the
original, monolithic Mexican drug cartel which has splintered into several
warring factions. An ancient evil religion fuels the ambitions of the most
powerful cartel leaders, hell-bent on utter destruction. As it fights its
descent into darkness, the country desperately searches for heroes.
“The violence that has occurred in Mexico is shocking
and disturbing,” Galloway says. “But it happened and is happening. Rather than
turn a blind eye, people should be aware of it. Thus, I wanted to vividly
illustrate some of this to the reader.”
Joel Galloway
was raised in the mountains of Idaho where he developed a passion for hunting,
fishing, and athletics. For close to a decade he lived on the U.S./Mexico
border as a missionary and student, eventually graduating from the University
of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). He’s followed the so-called Mexican drug wars with
fascination and extreme concern, the subject eventually becoming the impetus
for this novel. He and his family currently live in Northern Virginia where he
works as a government contractor, assisting in the defense of the United
States. This is his first novel.
