The Redeemed, A Leap of Faith — Merle Temple

Michael Parker, the central charcter in the trilogy of books, finds that life is not the neat and tidy place he thought it was when he leaves Ole Miss to enter the first drug wars in A Ghostly Shade of Pale. Targeted for assassination and ambush in the first book, he leaves drug enforcement for the corporate world and high-level politics, only to find in the sequel, A Rented World, that the political criminals he encounters are far more dangerous than the organized crime figures who had tried to kill him. The full power of government is turned against him, and in the final book of the trilogy, The Redeemed, he finds the answers to all of questions and a peace he has never known...in prison.
