Vol 1 Eutopian Destiny - Preacher Man (Book) - 3/13/2011 8:02:57 AM
I picked this book when I met the author at the North Texas Book Festival in Denton, Texas. Rita is a retired accountant and avid fiction reader. She felt she could write books that people would be interested in that were not so graphic.
“Joe walked into Jack’s office whistling the wedding march. Jack’s unit had spent a year in El Paso helping the INS Border Patrol combat a significant surge in illegal activity. The traffic had slowed down to a normal level and management was sending the borrowed units back to their home offices.
“Better get your best suit pressed, Jack,” he said. “You’ve got a bride to give away back in Boston.” He froze when he saw the somber look on Jack’s face.
“We’re not going back yet,” Jack said. “You’ve been selected for a special undercover assignment.”
“What assignment?” Joe asked.
“A highly organized group is smuggling young women into the country and selling them as sex slaves,” Jack said.
So starts Rita Dear’s Preacher Man, the first in the series that follows an undercover INS agent and his team as they investigate a sex slave smuggling ring in a small town in New Mexico. Each book leads to another investigative adventure in which the team uses innovative stealth and cunning to bring it to a conclusion.
I recommend this series for some very thrilling reading. The detailed and intricate plot lines have excitement, suspense, romance and more; so much so that it makes you want to have the next book ready to start reading after you have turned the last page. It reminds me of the Saturday serials that kept us in our seats at the local movie theater and waiting with anticipation for the next week’s installment. The little bad language there is, is not gratuitous and sex is held private between husband and wife.

Ghostwriter is sensitive, romantic, and yet it was still investigative and action packed.
Vol 7 Eutopian Destiny - Yucca (Book) - 12/6/2009 1:41:53 PM

Vol 4 Eutopian Destiny Pocomesa (Book) - 12/3/2009 7:48:00 PM

Vol 1 Eutopian Destiny - Preacher Man (Book) - 5/6/2009 8:28:29 AM
This is a very riveting book! It has a good balance of action, joy, compassion, and a great cliffhanger -- if I had only had the next book in the series, I would have started it immediately after finishing this first one. You quickly become involved with the characters and the town of Eutopian Springs.
