The Nathan Parker Detective Series: Book 2
Publication Date: July 18, 2023
The border is a hostile place with searing heat and venomous serpents. Yet the deadliest predator targets the innocent.
A sniper strikes in the Valley of the Sun and Detective Nathan Parker soon finds a connection between the victims—each of them had a role in an organization founded to help undocumented migrants make the dangerous crossing. Parker discovers no one is exactly who they seem.
There’s the devil you know and then there’s the devil within—when the two collide, no one is safe.
Devil Within is the sequel to the Anthony and Lefty Award nominated Dead Drop.
Detective Nathan Parker returns for another adventure, this time to track down a sniper picking off people tied to an organization that helps undocumented migrants.
Author James L’Etoile delivers Devil Within, the sequel to Dead Drop, set against the backdrop of Arizona. The complexities of illegally crossing the border play a vital role in how the story unfolds.
As Parker tries to put together clues for the investigation, his progress is slowed down by a community that doesn’t trust law enforcement. Parker’s border experiences still haunt him, but he has plenty of compassion for those seeking asylum.
With well-developed characters and a solid storyline, the adventure takes a sinister twist when Parker delves deeper into the Immigrant Coalition and realizes that things aren’t what they seem.
Devil Within delivers an action-packed story highlighting culprits who hide behind carefully crafted images that eventually crumble.
James L’Etoile uses his twenty-nine years behind bars as an influence in his award-winning novel, short stories, and screenplays. He is a former associate warden in a maximum-security prison, a hostage negotiator, and director of California’s state parole system. Black Label earned the Silver Falchion for Best Book by an Attending Author at Killer Nashville and he was nominated for The Bill Crider Award for short fiction. His most recent novel is the Anthony and Lefty Award nominated Dead Drop. Look for Devil Within and Face of Greed, both coming in 2023.
