The Smell of Duty by Elias Rodriguez is an action packed book about the Policia Federal and American Government's fight against drug trafficking. When Miguel's Policia Federal team gets attacked by the Mexican Army on a drug raid gone badly, everyone is killed but him and Pedro. They are both wounded badly in the fight but managed to survive. Through his months of recovery Miguel rethinks his career with the Policia Federal. He gets an offer to join the DEA and K9 unit and moves to San Diego where he meets his new partner Badge, a German shepherd. Miguel and Badge go through extensive training and become a unique team. Together they fight the war against drugs in airports, at border crossings, and on the streets. They even assist in hostage situations. The book was an exciting story filled with tales of drugs and arms smuggling. It was shocking to see how the drug lords went to any lengths possible to get their drugs on the streets. The book showed just how valuable K9 units are to the fight against drugs.
