FBI agents Cody Roach and Maria Sanchez are sent to Valle del Cauca, Colombia, in search of the elusive drug lord Gabriel Valdivia-Jimenez. But when a brutal civil war erupts across the region, the mission spirals out of control.
Agent Cody Roach is found dead-and the CIA is now hunting Maria Sanchez.
Blamed for Roach's death, Maria is accused of betrayal and forced into hiding. Desperate to get close to Gabriel Valdivia-Jimenez, she enters a dangerous sexual arrangement with professional bodybuilder Luis Bermejo, a man with direct ties to the cartel. But her motives are far more complex than anyone realizes.
Meanwhile, Tony Mason learns that Gabriel Valdivia-Jimenez has placed a thirty-thousand-dollar bounty on his head. Mercenaries, civilians, and criminals across Valle del Cauca now hunt Tony, each hoping to collect the reward. As the city turns against him, Tony must fight to survive while uncovering who he can trust.
Detective Chez Del-Valle of Valle del Cauca is also closing in on Tony-whether to arrest him or kill him remains unclear. The question is: is the detective working for justice, or is he on Gabriel's payroll?
Tony's only ally is his friend David Juan. In Tony's eyes, no one else can be trusted-not even his fianc e, Maria Sanchez. When two CIA agents reveal Maria's sexual relationship with Luis Bermejo, they pressure Tony to turn her in. Faced with betrayal, lies, and shifting loyalties, Tony must decide where his allegiance truly lies.
To remove the bounty and end the bloodshed, Tony has only one option: wage war against Gabriel Valdivia-Jimenez. Running out of time, he forms a desperate alliance with a drug queen locked in her own violent war with Gabriel. Known for her brutality and disloyalty, she may be as deadly as the enemy Tony is trying to destroy.
Surrounded by enemies and trapped in a city tearing itself apart, Tony must survive Valle del Cauca long enough to eliminate Gabriel Valdivia-Jimenez-while constantly watching his back from the very allies he needs to stay alive.
