From the Publisher
"This is one of the most accomplished first novels I have ever read. Triple Crossing is full of dangers, deep characters and a story writ on a grand scale."—Michael Connelly
"An honest and engrossing journey into a world of violence and corruption....Rotella knows how the police work, how the criminals operate and how bribes and violence subvert the law. He employs a journalist's sharp eye and a novelist's deft touch to give us a rich portrait of the sights, smells, sounds, beauties, and dangers of life south of the border."—Patrick Anderson, Washington Post

"A strongly choreographed, authentically detailed, and sharply funny tale of cultural complexity and raging global criminality."—Donna Seaman, Booklist
"A fast-paced thriller that rings true to the real story behind the political posturing over the drug war, illegal immigration, and border security."—Kirkus
"Rotella's crime drama captures the feel of the rampant corruption that is the stuff of headlines in the United States and Mexico. This should satisfy readers far beyond the border."—Eric Norton, Library Journal
