Excerpt from The Devil's Highway


“You’d be hard pressed to meet a border patrol agent in either southern Arizona sector who had not encountered death. It would be safe to say that every one of them except for the rankest probie just out of the academy had handled at least one dead body. And they all knew the locations of unidentified skeletons and skulls. Bones peppered the entire region. All the agents seem to agree that the worst deaths are the young women and the children. Pregnant women with dying fetuses within them are not uncommon; young mothers have been found dead with infants attached to their breasts, still trying to nurse.”
