An Educated Death

Justin Pierce seeks a reason to live.

But death keeps nipping at his heels.

A prominent special agent for both the United States and Mexico, Justin struggles to recover from deep personal loss and near fatal injuries sustained during his last operation. Demetrio, Justin's closest friend, a distinguished Mexican anthropologist and genius, steps in to rescue his pal.

Death calls again when a body washes ashore mere feet from Justin's seaside hideaway. The victim turns out to be closely connected to his sister Carrie, and with her life now in danger, Justin must solve the murder and protect her at all costs.

With Demetrio as his impish sidekick, Justin harnesses his connections to international secret service agencies to untangle a web of corruption, fraud, and murder in the halls of academia.

Justin's unexpected foray thrusts him into a pursuit fraught with twists and hardships, a challenge that paves the way to a new lease on life.
