Murder in Monterrey
Some men bury the past. Others get buried by it.
Nicky "The Rat" Fusco has spent years trying to outrun who he used to be. These days he runs a business, comes home to a wife and two kids, and keeps the old life locked in a drawer he swore he'd never open again. It's a quiet life, an honest one, and he means to keep it that way.
Then a garbage truck runs a red light by the city zoo and plows into his wife's car with his children inside.
The police call it a tragic accident. Nicky knows better. Years ago, he tore apart a Mexican cartel's move into his hometown and left ten of their men dead in a single night. The cartel never forgot, and the man who runs it now, Raul, out of Monterrey, has decided it's time to collect. He didn't come for Nicky. He came for Nicky's family, and he won't stop at one attempt.
So Nicky makes a choice no reasonable man would make. He gathers the only people he trusts, an ex-cop partner, a crew of hard street soldiers, and an old friend who may be the deadliest of them all, and he carries the war south, across the border, into a city the cartel owns outright. Raul has fifty guards, the local police in his pocket, and a fortress on a hill no one gets near uninvited.
Nicky has ten men, a handful of smuggled guns, and nothing left to lose.
What follows is a brutal, white-knuckle hunt through a world where a single mistake means a death no one walks away from, where loyalty is the only currency that matters, and where the line between justice and vengeance disappears entirely.
Because when a man comes for your wife and children, you don't call the law, and you don't wait your turn. You finish it yourself, whatever it costs.
In Monterrey, somebody is going to pay.
