An Actor Goes to Prison to Get Evidence for the FBI


Tommy Jump is an ex-child actor whose career is deteriorating. He’s type cast in his famous role and can’t seem to break out of it. Tommy’s problems don’t end with his career. He has a pregnant fiancée, and he wants to take care of his family.

When Tommy meets an old friend now in the FBI, he’s surprised to get an offer for a different kind of acting job. The FBI wants him to enter prison under an assumed name and become friends with Mitchell Dupree, a banker who is in prison for laundering funds for a drug cartel, New Colima. Headed by El Vio, this is one of the deadliest drug cartels in Mexico, a primary supplier of crystal meth is the US.

Tommy, in spite of the worries of his mother and girlfriend, takes the job. When he enters the minimum security prison ready to befriend Dupree, he is faced with much more than he bargained for. Drug cartels don’t fool around. They want the papers Dupree knows about as much as the FBI.

If you like thrillers, this is a good one. Tommy is a believable character. His reaction to prison including the fear and stress draw you in. Although the book opens slowly, once Tommy enters the prison, the action is non-stop. It’s hard to put the book down.

I received this book from Net Galley for this review.
