Ramona author holds book signing at Unicorn Books & Gifts today

Saturday, Sept. 28—

Ramona resident Timothy L. Daniels will sign copies of his debut novel, “A Target Rich Environment,” in Unicorn Books and Gifts today from 3 to 5 p.m.

In the book, U.S. Customs Special Agent Jimmy Maxwell is targeting narcotics smuggler Angel Garcia. But the overload of drug-related cases flooding the ports of San Diego is stalling Maxwell’s investigation.

As the agent fights the system to jail Garcia, his own crumbling marriage takes a hit when he finds himself attracted to the suspect’s ex-wife. Amid the pressures in his professional and personal lives, Maxwell struggles to do the right thing.

This hard-hitting story takes readers inside the world of drug dealers to a place where few have ever been.

Daniels has over 22 years of experience as a special agent/criminal investigator with Immigration and Customs Enforcement in San Diego. He currently supervises a group of special agents in border narcotics investigations.
