Description
When news of Mexican gang activity reaches local authorities in Durango, Colorado, the bucolic peace of the small town is shattered. Realizing the severity of the threat, the sheriff’s office reaches out for assistance.
With years of hard-earned experience, Senior Agent Buck Taylor from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation is unquestionably the man for the job. As talented a sleuth as there ever was, Buck is known for his dogged determination. Buck’s last case—a gruesome triple homicide in Teller County—has served as a productive distraction from the grief etched into his heart by the recent death of his wife of thirty-five years.
Now, as he turns his attention to the trouble in Durango, Buck finds himself drawn into the dangerous world of cartel violence, drugs, and human trafficking. But as Buck focuses on the cartel case, the players in his triple-homicide investigation become more prominent—and deadly—than ever. With multiple agencies—including the FBI, the DEA, and ICE—converging on Durango and numerous criminals gunning for Buck’s life, the stage is set for a fiery showdown.
Crime Interrupted is a thriller that will have readers burning through the pages.

I just love when an author gives us an MC that is mature both emotionally and age-wise. Here we get both. Buck Taylor is 58 years old and he is smart, charming, and oh-so-human. I love that! He is a fabulous character that I wanted to be friends with instantly.
The story is suspenseful and kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. This was truly a pleasure to read...it was everything a book should be.

I very much enjoyed this Buck Taylor book. I was drawn in from the beginning and felt the characters were interesting. The pace was fast and I enjoy that in a book. Nothing long and drawn out in this story. I'm looking forward to the rest of the Buck Taylor series and learning more about Buck and how he became to be the man he is.

in Crime Interrupted, Chuck Morgan presents his audience an interesting crime story on a powerful and violent Mexican cartel trying to set up an operation in Durango, Colorado, a small town where normally nothing much happens. Money laundering, smuggling drugs, and human trafficking are executed successfully from a warehouse until a boy gets beaten and dumped nearby. It's up to the local sheriff, supported by Senior Agent Buck Taylor from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. He is the man for the job. He is talented, has a network in circles like the FBI, the DEA, and ICE, and a moral compass that motivates him to go for the extra mile, though missing his own children while on duty.
A massive raid on the warehouse is being prepared and executed. Unlike other thrillers, the narrative is sequential and descriptive. Morgan admits he is a storyteller, who lets his characters do the job. The author paints Buck Taylor as a real human, leaving enough open for a sequel to this storyline.

This was a great story with amazing detective work. If you like detective stories then this book is definitely for you!
What happens when the drug cartel takes over a quiet little shipping company to move it's drugs, money, weapons and illegals. This is very well written with engaging characters. The narration keeps pace with the action and characterisation. Didn't take me long to read through it as I was engaged from the beginning.
