Love and Death in the Dominican Republic A Harold Gatewood Mystery Volume 9 Welcome to the ninth exciting episode of the Harold Gatewood Mystery Series. Still reeling from the death of his Venezuelan lover Luisa Gaicia, and tired of dealing with death threats from a beautiful, deranged serial killer named Susana Richards, Harold Gatewood heads to the Dominican Republic to scout for baseball players and spy for the CIO. His mission is to disrupt the drug shipments from the Columbian cartels, and the TCPLM in Venezuela, to the Dominican Republic for delivery to the streets of America, Canada, and Europe. If successful, Gatewood can save thousands of lives by choking off the drug supply. A long parade of enemies, old and new, all want Gatewood dead. Included are the cartels, the TCPLM, the Venezuelan government and military, the AIO, and the Sicilian Mafia. A beautiful, mysterious international lawyer named Linda Westmorland, a gorgeous television newscaster named Juliana Callejas, a voodoo princess who can predict the future, and hitmen nicknamed "The Lightning Bolt of Terror" and "The Barber" all impact Gatewood's mission. A surprise ending changes Harold's life forever.
