Having been kidnapped by a Baltimore Mob family and held for ransom, Anna Myer is used as the motivation to force he brother, Cris Weaver and his longtime friend, U.S. Customs Agent Dave Stevens to organize and carryout a gold smuggling operation from the rugged wilds of north central Mexico to the United States. Encountering dangerous weather, vicious bandits, forbidden love, hazardous mountain trails and treachery from every faction, they pursue the only available course to rescue Anna and escape with their lives, while avoiding capture by the Mexican police, being overcome by disgruntled peasants, killed by the mob or arrested as smugglers by the U.S. authorities. "Forced Intervention has an irresistible force of its own. The story propels the reader on a journey of intrigue and action with a host of unexpected turns. Be careful when and where you start to read this book-you just might not be able to stop." -Terry Baldwin, author of Tess, Terrorists and the Tiara.
