Saints and Sinners, Deputy Allred & Apache Officer Victor

A saintly Hispanic girl must be protected from a ruthless drug cartel in this borderland thriller featuring Arizona deputies and the Apache Tribal Police.

A religious sensation is sweeping Northwestern Mexico thanks to seventeen-year-old Mariana Villalobos’s mystic gift. With a cascade of spiritual epiphanies, even gangsters reject crime, which spells disaster for those who profit most from the drug trade. After their revenues tumble, the Liones cartel issues a hit on the local saint.

The Mexican police hide Mariana in the Gila Valley of Arizona while they work with international law enforcement to dismantle the criminal organization. Graham County deputies Bren Allred and Manny Sanchez join forces with San Carlos Apache Tribal Policeman Al Victor to protect Mariana. Even with a coalition of agents from the DEA, ICE, Spain’s Policia Nacional, and Mexico’s Policia Judicial, stopping a cadre of determined assassins will take a miracle.
