Delta Tango Trilogy

Delta Tango Trilogy Book One: Fleeing the Past explores life in the U.S. Border Patrol through the experiences of Layne Sheppard, a man striving to prove that his failures are in the past. Fleeing the Past is part of the Delta Tango Trilogy by Christopher LaGrone that follows Layne from the day he applies to join the U.S. Border Patrol through the rigors of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (known as the Border Patrol Academy). In Fleeing the Past, as Layne seeks self-respect and self-confidence, he endures the boot camp-like ordeal of the Border Patrol Academy in sweltering New Mexico-punishing long-distance runs and debilitating hand-to-hand combat. During precious free time he meets Felina Camarena Rivera. Both keep personal secrets and pursue plans for escaping them-plans they also keep to themselves, even as their attraction for each other deepens.

In Delta Tango Trilogy, Book Three: Moments of Truth, Layne realizes the inevitable loneliness and fear of patrolling the border without a partner as the pressure from management mounts. While experiencing many "agent adventures", he faces several, moments of truth, both personal and professional, among them dealing with secrets Felina has held. She, too, must come to grips with tough choices: can Felina rely on Layne? They undertake an audacious gamble, and their futures hang in the balance.
