Hidden Battlefields by William Peace is the sequel to his previous novel, The Iranian Scorpion. Robert Dawson, an agent working for the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency), has escaped from a prison in Iran. While re-acclimating to the USA, he finds himself in close contact with Mary Jo Mingot, a defense contractor engaged to his father, David Dawson. The pair hit it off while waiting for word of his father’s release on charges of terrorism. Deciding to remain with Robert, the pair finds themselves torn apart as Robert takes a post in Lima, Peru, assigned to obtain intelligence on the cocaine trade along the Shining Path. At the same time, one of Robert’s old flames, Kate Conway, touches base with his father. Through all these twisted ties, will Robert and Mary Jo manage to make their relationship work, while struggling against a dangerous drug cartel?
Impeccably written, Hidden Battlefields by William Peace is definitely a page-turner. I appreciated that Mr. Peace took the time to research every element of his book. I learned a great deal about the drug trade, including how cocaine is manufactured, something I never knew before. I loved the character dynamic between the various people in the novel, although I didn’t much care for Robert’s father, who seemed to have very skewed views, but I’m glad he came to terms with things. I enjoyed the discussions of various ideals as well. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves intense political thrillers, with suspenseful twists.
