In between, in its nearly 300 delicious pages, along with the newly released audio book, there are continuing and interwoven subplots packed full with passion, drama, love lost and regained, moral dilemma, brotherhood, and suspense, always sandwiched by more action. Tecate Peak traces the ebb and flow, the frenzy and the calm that is the day to day life of Harry Dugan, a cop from a family of cops who proves to be the epitome of the old adage no good deed goes unpunished, who finds himself , a middle aged man, jettisoned from a promising career in law enforcement and a ten year happy marriage, with the requisite rose covered cottage in the New England countryside. Haunted by the appearance of wrong doing on the job, and a one night affair that didn't happen, banished by his wife, who says she still loves him, and betrayed by the man who was like a brother to him, his partner, his friend, Harry stumbles blindly into a world that's new to him. Now, over forty, starting from scratch in a place he's never been, 3000 miles away from everything that is dear to him, his only lifeline is an old wrinkled slip of paper with a man's name and phone number, a man who is the cousin of his former friend and might help him find work in San Diego. In the span of the near 300 pages, along with the newly released audio book, they are able, with much bravery, strength, and quick thinking, to solve a crime, help save a cop's life, apprehend two low level drug dealers who try to escape in a van, and, almost inadvertently open the door, quite literally, to a Pandora's box of cartel corruption complete with threats to their own lives and those of people they care about.
