According to book description of Terrorism's Shifting Winds, “Islamic terrorists are running hand-in-hand with powerful drug trafficking cartels in the Western Hemisphere to launch new attacks against the United States.  Terrorism's Shifting Winds is an action/suspense thriller that takes this collaboration between Mid-East terrorists and drug traffickers and weaves a story of intrigue that entails not only drug trafficking but the smuggling of a weapon of mass destruction into the United States.  Jackie Randolph, an impetuous but resourceful ex-special agent for the Drug Enforcement Administration, is rehired for an undercover role.  Toss in the antics of some fearsome, erstwhile Tennessee moonshiners, Mexican drug traffickers and some not so innocent white collar vacationers at a wilderness retreat, and you have a robust tale about heroes and villains.”
