Synopsis
Jesse Barrett, assassin-for-hire, is coerced by federal agents into making a terrible choice: go to prison, or help them seize billions of dollars of laundered drug profits while disguised as a woman. Seduced by a beautiful stranger, he wakes up in her hotel room to find himself dressed in a nightgown, with all his clothes and identification missing. Will Barrett cooperate with Kristin Fox, the special agent who trapped him? When Barrett reluctantly agrees, Kristin prepares him to go undercover against the Juarez cartel. Although she prefers women, Kristin becomes attracted to her creation, convincing herself that his transformation is the cause. While Barrett plots his escape, their relationship becomes physical. Until the mission goes dreadfully wrong . . . . As the action races across three continents to a stunning confrontation on the brink of Iguazu Falls, The Jessica Project explores the possibility that love might help a person reinvent himself or herself.

July 21, 2003: Read this book! Thomas Farell's well-plotted and fast-paced thriller seizes the reader. It surprises and it snaps your head back like a sports car on a tight mountain road. Farrell thrusts his Special Forces marksman turned assassin, Jesse Barrett, into an impossible situation. He's stripped of his identity as part of a bizarre government plot to destroy the multi-billion dollar money-laundering network of a major Mexican drug cartel. His survival from the government agents who now control him and from his former employer, the deadly Don Cielo, depends upon his ingenuity, decisiveness, raw nerve and, unbelievably, his ability to pass as a woman. Farrell writes in a lean, direct style. An observant world-traveler, he has a gift for penning the telling details that capture the feel of far-flung places with realism and economy. Whether the battle of wills between Jesse and his DEA handler, Kristin Fox, will lead to the destruction of the cartel, of Jesse's gender identity or of the barriers between them or it will result in Jesse's death at the hands of the vengeful Don Cielo, is at the heart of the story. Farrell has created a cinematic tale, non-stop and compelling, that entertains and informs and is very hard to put down. I'm looking forward to the sequel.

March 05, 2003: If you lke your action, romance and adventure with a twist, this is the book for you. From start to finish The Jessica Project rocks! Assasin-for-hire Jesse Barrett reluctantly becomes the ultimate master of disguise in an offbeat DEA plot to bring down a major drug cartel. Author Thomas Farrell hits all the right notes and deftly follows his newly beautiful hero across the world and the borders of gender identity. James Bond was never like this! I highly recommend this book. I honestly could not put it down until I had finished it -- and then I wanted more. Not your average spy thriller.
