From the Author:

CrossFire and its characters are entirely fictional. But the situations, settings, attitudes, and opinions in its pages, as well as the details of narcotrafficking and the anti-narcotics effort, are as accurate as careful research and personal acquaintance can make them. The drug war in Bolivia is an ongoing drama of real people in a context of greed and addiction, unimaginable wealth and economic hardship, conflicting political ideologies, right and wrong motives--and of occasional simple heroism as well. CrossFire is the story of that drama.

But beyond the political and literary value of the book, CrossFire carries a message that touches all our deepest longings. A message of a loving Creator God who yearns over His children who have lost their way, calling for them to return to Him. What do you do when you hit rock-bottom and God seems a universe away? Do you run towards Him--or away?

About the Author:

As the child of missionary parents, Jeanette Windle grew up in the rural towns of Colombia, which are now guerrilla hot zones. Her detailed research and writing is so realistic that it has prompted government agencies to question her to determine if she has received classified information. Now living in Miami, Florida, Jeanette spent 15 years as a missionary in Bolivia and has more than 10 books in print, including the best-seller CrossFire and the Parker Twins series.
