Trail of the Jaguar by Jonathan Hanson - Book Tour & Review


Trail of the Jaguar

Biologist and wildlife photographer Clayton Porter witnesses what appears to be a routine drug-smuggling flight across the Arizona-Mexico border. Instead, he uncovers a sophisticated operation involving a secret lodge high in the Sierra Madre, canned hunts for endangered jaguars, a ring of opioid-dealing doctors in the U.S., and a string of cartel victims partially consumed by a large predator. After he unwittingly throws a wrench into the works, Porter becomes a target of revenge, and resorts to skills from his military service to save himself and those close to him.

My Review
Trail of the Jaguar is a thrilling adventure novel that follows a wildlife photographer named Clayton Porter who finds himself wrapped up in some crazy things. What he assumes is just a drug-smuggling ring ends up being so much more. And soon, he finds himself doing whatever it takes to save himself and take down the bad guys, before it's too late. 
It's definitely an exciting read that will keep you on your toes. The author brings a sense of realism to the story, and you can almost feel like you're having a wild, albeit suspenseful, adventure right along with Clayton. 
There's a lot going on, but it's paced well, and it's easy to get sucked in and lost to the imagery while reading. Clayton is tough, but he's also a really well-written, likeable character you can't help but root for. He's the type of guy you'd want to have your back if you found yourself in a bit of a pickle. Or more than a pickle. 
I really enjoyed Trail of the Jaguar, and I think I'd like to see more of Clayton and his adventures. If you're looking for something thrilling and full of action, give this book a go.
4 stars!

Jonathan Hanson grew up northeast of Tucson, Arizona, with Sabino and Bear Canyons as his backyard, providing him with years of desert expeditions, hunting like the Apaches and building wickiups (which failed spectacularly).
