Blood Lines (Scott Brodie & Maggie Taylor Series Book 2) The first in the Scott Brodie & Maggie Taylor Series, The Deserter, introduced us to Army Criminal Investigations Agents Scott Brodie and Maggie Taylor and promptly plunged them into Venezuela, a country that was once a democracy but has been under authoritarian rule for over a decade.
