Introduction

The captivating journey of a man wrongfully arrested, tortured, and pursued after escape amidst the destruction of paradise in a foreign land. The injustice shall be avenged, but he will have to die…it’s the only way to save his life.
Itinerant American journalist Russell Martell returns to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, to recover from personal tragedy, only to find himself at the epicenter of a devastating catastrophe… A freak accident or terror attack? Federales, police, and Mexican Intelligence (CISEN) have reached a verdict, and Russell Martell, “El Gringo Terrorista”, is in their crosshairs.

FINDING DEVO begins with police searching for answers to an inexplicable murder at Marina Vallarta that occurred at around the same time as a botched police and federale raid. The investigation becomes mired in a cover-up and corruption—business as usual. Partying goes on as usual in Vallarta as well. At an animated fiesta, Russell meets a beguiling, balletic beauty--Brenda. Her past and future are intertwined with his more than he can imagine. An enigmatic figure also attracts his attention, a man Russell is curious to meet, given his infamy: Devo.

As FINDING DEVO wends its way through deadly plot twists and duplicitous political power struggles, Russell has no choice but to place his life in Devo’s hands, a man he fears may have engineered his fate before they ever met.
