A field biologist with the Forest Service has come to the
Pacific Midwest to learn what has poisoned a lake and
killed trout. Dr Teresa Cleary views the beautiful amenity,
but swimmers had also reported respiratory distress so
clearly something is gravely amiss. This will lead her into
DANGER AT THE BORDER with Canada as the lake spans that
border.
Tourism is an important source of livelihoods here and the
Rangers are disturbed by the havoc caused to nature. Local
men disparage a slight woman - what use can she be? But
Teresa assures them that she will find the cause of
pollution. Agent Jeff Steele is willing to let her work.
He's from the Customs and Border Patrol so he accompanies
Teresa out in a Zodiac inflatable boat, zipping along the
large lake to collect samples and search for pollutants.
When shots are fired at the pair by men in camouflage gear
they have to take to the unpopulated woods, where Teresa
knows they are near the source of the chemicals she's
found. There's no phone coverage. Have they any chance of
making it, even with the survival kit she always
carries?
Bears inhabit these woods and they aren't the worst dangers
Jeff and Teresa will face. I liked the hiking experience
and nature detail. The brave, sensible people have time to
talk and it turns out that each of them got dropped by a
partner who took up a better offer for work somewhere
else. Teresa's devoted herself to her job, and Jeff gets
on better with prayers. There's no guarantee that they will
survive, especially if the gun-toting men find them again.
Readers will get to know more details about certain crops
than they expected, and find that Homeland Security cameras
in the woods have been set on a loop by criminals so
nothing seems amiss. This fast-paced story piles on the
dangers and never lets up. I really had a good time
reading this first in the Northern Border Patrol
series
by Terri Reid. I previously loved her Scent of Danger in
the Texas K9 Unit linked series, so anyone who enjoyed
those books is in for a treat.
DANGER AT THE BORDER is an
inspirational book in which Jeff makes the point that God
expects him to do all he can to help himself, not give up
or let others down. This well-written romantic suspense
story has a lot to teach us, as well as some heart-stopping
action.
When a mysterious toxin threatens lives and livelihoods near
the border between the U.S. and Canada, Dr. Tessa Cleary is
called to trace the source. But when the no-nonsense doctor
is forced to work with border patrol agent Jeff Steele, she
finds the lone wolf's dedication to his job—and
country—chipping away at the walls around her heart. Just as
Tessa and Jeff are about to uncover the toxin's deadly
source, armed thugs kidnap them in the forest. Now they must
trust each other to survive before time runs out for
everyone.
