Deep White Cover

by Joel W. Barrows

Extremist anti-immigrant groups and white-supremacist hate-mongers have begun to combine resources, and ideologies. These new hybrids of hate pose a rising threat, not only to the country’s immigrants, but also to national security.

ATF Special Agent David Ward, undercover as a disgruntled veteran of the Army’s Special Forces, works his way into The Nation, befriending its leaders and learning its secrets…or so he thinks. In truth, the organization’s reach exceeds anything that the seasoned agent could have possibly imagined, something he will learn only when it seems too late to stop the revolution they seek.

[Ellen Jordan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Complex plot with a boatload of characters. Thank you, author, for listing the cast at the beginning. Detailed, convincing story of an undercover agent's infiltration of a white nationalist group that murders persons crossing the border illegally. Barrows' experience as a prosecutor and judge have informed his knowledge of the subject and richly colored his descriptions.
