Ron Ortega is an undercover cop in a world of drugs and violence. He’s infiltrating one of the most dangerous gangs in Miami, and things are going according to plan. The boss trusts him. He begins to learn the secrets he needs to bring them down. And that’s when things start to go wrong. Back in Chicago, Ortega’s wife is pregnant and wanting him home. In his superior’s office, his leash is short. On the job, he comes face to face with some of the biggest ugly he’s ever met. And yet with every passing day, he’s reminded of how unfair it is that the good guys go home with empty pockets while the drug lords live in fancy mansions by the sea. It all seems to beg the question he’s been asking all his life: do the right thing or do the desired thing? Is his faith enough to help him draw the line? White Soul is a story of action, intrigue, and an internal debate that will keep the pages turning. Ortega’s an engaging—and yet fallible—character. I never knew exactly what decisions he might make, how he might defend them, and what the outcome would be. One of the most masterful things about the book is that the reader falls right into the trap the character does—coming to like the guy we know is a good-for-nothing drug lord. My only complaint is that I was hoping for a little more definition when it came to Ortega’s implantation into this underworld, more depth to his question. I saw his temptation, but I wanted to see his reaction to it more. I knew he considered doing something, but I wasn’t always quite sure why. The book is more plot-driven than character-driven, though, so instead of all that internal musing I got lots of action sequences and some good old-fashioned nail-biting suspense, wondering who the leak in the organization was. Brandt Dodson provides a solid, fast-paced read that will especially appeal to male readers and any lover of suspense.
