A page-turner and action-packed thriller in which Jack Russo’s twenty-year search for his kidnapped daughter takes him to the dangerous cartel-controlled Texas-Mexico border.

Jim, a thirty-five-year resident of Medfield, has released his fourth novel titled, Van Horn.

I hope readers enjoy this latest and timely story travels to the US-Mexico border where drug cartels and human traffickers had impacted so many lives.”

The summary on the back cover reads:

Twenty years later, he is still on a relentless search for his daughter. Revenge has led him to the border towns of Texas and Mexico, where he meets Siena, a spirited young woman who joins him on a riveting journey into the world of the dangerous Mexican drug cartels and the deeper struggle with justice, peace, truth, and forgiveness.

Some early reviews on Van Horn:

“A page-tuner! Jim Sano has delivered another work of art. It’s a thriller for sure, but also digs into the heart of deep issues of faith like tragedy, resentment, vengeance, forgiveness, and even love. The new evangelization needs to be a compelling portrayal of the Gospel, brought to life in the real, and even difficult circumstances of humanity, Jim Sano has done just that!” Jim Beckman, Executive Director of Evangelization and Catechesis, Archdiocese of Oklahoma City.

"Jim Sano’s talent continues to shine, especially in this gripping tale that kept me guessing to the very end-a true rarity! Highly recommended." Michelle Buckman, author of Death Panels and Rachel’s Contrition.

“Van Horn is a captivating journey that takes the main character, Jack Russo, through the world of drug trafficking on the Mexico and Texas border as he searches for his kidnapped daughter. Jim Sano leads us by the hand with overtones of faith and hope. I will miss all the characters that are now part of my reading life!”Irene Sarmiento de Lozano, Family Education Consultant (Familystuff.ca), Writer, Speaker.

“Wow! Jim Sano had done it again. This thriller takes place in South Texas on the Mexico border in this action-packed page-turner. Jim utilizes this volatile location to dive into topics like vengeance, hate, revenge, friendship, love, faith, and rivalry. How far is too far in searching for a lost daughter or avenging the death of his wife and where do Christ and the Church fit into those dilemmas?”Sean Lynn, Calaragy Law Enforcement, President of God Squad Canada, Host of “A Dram with Friends,” Member of Catholic Men’s Leadership Alliance Board.
