"Action-adventure writing of the highest order...a gut-punch of a thriller, packing a wallop Badal dispenses with a strong and seasoned hand
" 'Natural Causes' by Joseph Badal is a first-rate thriller, a powerhouse of a story that will keep you turning the pages into the wee hours. The pacing is relentless, with a sense of menace that grows almost unbearable. Lassiter and Martinez are two homicide detectives for the ages. I loved it!"

"Outstanding! Joseph Badal returns with a propulsive, action-packed, and timely tale of international intrigue dealing with the difficult subject of human trafficking. An exciting and thought-provoking tale. Badal is at the top of his game. Highly recommended."
"Joseph Badal once again dispalys his skill as a chess master, moving an eclectic assortment of pieces around on a board divided into exotic locales. His good guys include ex-Green Berets and skilled intel specialists. The villains are the violent criminals who trade in human beings, and the corrupt politicians and CIA officials who enable their evil ways. Badal offers up a cocktail to be savored by readers that is made up of action, tension, surprise, and adventure."
