Incommunicado by J. P. Mercer and Nancy M. Hill     
Original / Uber | Modern | Alternative (Mature) | Drama | Short Story - 10 pages | Unfinished |
Cast: Jake, Matt, Alejandro
Incommunicado is an intriguing story of lies, deceit, and death that spans from the U.S/Mexico border and the panoramic beauty of the unforgiving Sonoran Desert to the contrasting magnificence along California's coastline and the Santa Barbara wine country.

The story revolves around two strong, independent women, one a lawyer who was born to rule the prestigious Cipriano Vineyards, the other a forensic pathologist who has made her work her life. Both live in emotional isolation, emotionally scared, afraid to live, afraid to trust, to love. Until they encounter each other against the backdrop of murder. Will their walls begin to crumble? Will they survive the menace of unscrupulous Mexican coyotes and drug traffickers, and family betrayal? Or will love elude them, silenced and lost amid the expectations of life?
Incommunicado à.This is a ômust readö tale. The timing of this story couldnÆt be more perfect with todayÆs news centering on serial killers, forensics and justice. The talents of J. P. Mercer and Nancy M. Hill drew me deep inside the story amidst the danger of the treacherous Sonora Desert, illegal immigrants being smuggled over the Mexican border and the mysterious murders of young women. The two main characters are exciting women. One, an attractive, feisty forensic pathologist and the other, a beautiful but formidable defense attorney that are brought together in less than attractive circumstances. Yep! Intrigue, sex and murderà. and .enough angst to keep me on the edge of my seatà.My Thanks to the writers. Agatha TutkoàJune 1, 2003. - Agatha Tutko - Jun 3rd, 2003
