The Emerald Cross

Ex-Green Beret Jamie Morales hoped to leave the horrors of battle behind and live peacefully with his wife, Brooke. But his mother, Maria, is hiding something, a relic she’s kept safe since leaving Mexico thirty years earlier. When Brooke’s sister Ashley divulges Maria’s secret to barbaric cartel boss Marco Delgado, who believes the artifact is his, her stupidity triggers brutal consequences, leaving Jamie with no option but to mount a revenge mission. THE EMERALD CROSS is a gripping novel that begins intriguingly before hurtling the reader into a twisty, high-octane military takedown that maintains focus and empathy on the human cost behind the cartel’s carnage. Cruickshank has created a strong, convincing protagonist in Morales, ensuring THE EMERALD CROSS is a highly readable, action-packed thriller.
