Richard Suttle's just taken a detour from his quiet life as a fraud investigator in Winnipeg--into the heart of Mexico City's dark underworld. His mission? Find Brendan Thorst, the reckless 22-year-old son of his ailing high school friend.
Brendan's no saint. He's a spoiled troublemaker who vanished after raising the ire of brutal cartels and street dealers by selling drugs to unsuspecting tourists. But that's only the surface.
The real story is far more twisted--and deadly. Brendan's on the run after threatening to expose a powerful televangelist who's hiding a horrifying secret: a kiddy porn operation protected by corrupt cops and blind faith.
Now Suttle must navigate a lethal maze of deception, violence, and betrayal. Because in this city, the only thing more dangerous than the criminals is the man who's supposed to be on your side.
