Undercover detective Jack Taggart infiltrates a Mexican drug cartel while investigating the disappearance of a young Canadian woman. Lily Rae is on holiday in El Paso, Texas, when she’s kidnapped by a Mexican drug cartel. El Paso borders on one of the most dangerous places in the world: Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, a city in the grip of a drug war. Going undercover to investigate her disappearance, detective Jack Taggart manages to penetrate the organization after discovering a Canadian link to the cartel. Taggart is sent to El Paso, where he is partnered with U.S. Customs special agent John Adams. Neither Taggart nor Adams know they have been paired for a secret purpose. Even though Taggart has strict orders to stay out of Juarez, his gut instinct tells him the answers — and possibly Lily herself — lie across the border. Still, the investigation seems to be going smoothly, until a leak threatens to expose Jack to the murderous cartel. Practically torn from the headlines, Birds of a Feather will keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you questioning right and wrong.
