CRIME INTERRUPTED: A Buck Taylor Novel...Book 1 in the award-winning CRIME series.

A pulse‑pounding crime thriller about cartel violence, human trafficking, and one agent’s fight for justice

When reports of Mexican cartel activity in Durango, Colorado reach local authorities, the quiet mountain town is thrust into a nightmare of murder, drugs, and human trafficking. Desperate for help, the sheriff’s office calls in the one man with the experience—and the grit—to confront the threat head‑on: Agent Buck Taylor of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.

Still reeling from the devastating loss of his wife, Buck throws himself into the case, determined to stop the violent criminal network spreading through the region. But as he digs deeper into the cartel’s operations, a chilling truth emerges: the suspects in his ongoing triple‑homicide investigation are far more connected—and far more dangerous—than he ever imagined.

With the FBI, DEA, and ICE descending on Durango and multiple killers targeting him, Buck is thrust into a deadly collision of cases that threatens to consume him. Every clue brings him closer to the truth… and closer to the line of fire.
If Buck fails, more innocent lives will be lost. If he succeeds, he may finally confront the grief that has haunted him since the day his world shattered.
