"What shows through is a very tender love affair
between three very well defined characters despite the harsh and sometimes
violent content of this well written novel."
The San Antonio Express News
“Mr. Butterfield confirms the issue that illegal drugs are an integral part of the American culture and the economy of Mexico. It was time someone put the issue in proper perspective.”
Jorge Fernández Menéndez, author of “El Otro Poder.”
A history of Mexican ‘narcotraffic’
“When you successfully combine romance with action/adventure and intrigue, you’ve got a page turner. Bravo!”
Michael Connelly
“Fernanda Deering reminds me of a young Jennifer Lopez. George Redfield has to be Andy Garcia and Jaime Nunez any number of young Latino actors with the ‘look.’ Tell me you’re talking to them – I love a good story turned into a film.”

Comments by the Pros
“The only known solution to the Drug Issue is a draconian, widespread repression of users or legalization. Americans are not willing to accept either.”
Jorge Castañeda
Former Foreign Minister of Mexico and co-author of Limits of Friendship
“Just finished travels with Fer, Jaime and George. A good fast read, which I plan to pass on to my retired FBI agent/golfing partner who spent most of his career in Houston and Southern California. From personally knowing some crackerjack FBI, CIA and DEA folks (and a few idiots associated with those organizations) I found your characters to be quite authentic.”
Charles Goode, Ret. Col. U.S. Marines
Trained DEA and FBI agents when based at Quantico, VA in the early 80’s
“Terrific plot, character development and back stories, rich detail, interesting subject. The sensibilities and breath of experience are impressive and made this a great read.”
Daniel Serby
Worked for Bill Casey, Dir. Of the CIA
“When I asked you where you got most of the information about what goes on in this business of drugs, especially the killing of women and children in the high sierras, you pointed your finger at me. True or not, you got it right and it hits very close to what goes on.”
Francisco Aguirre Boyer
Retired Sub Comandante of the PGR (Procuradería General de la República)
