As a lawyer and owner of his own business, Paul Madriani,
had to get back to work. Not that he was lazy or not
wanted by his clients, it was just that he had a Mexican
killer on his case who was bound and determined to kill
everyone close to Paul and then as the "grande finale"
stick the final blade into Paul's heart and twist it.
Paul's top investigator, Herman Diggs, had already felt the
intensity of Muerte Liquida's hatred and left for dead,
now clung to life in a Washington D.C. Hospital. Still
filled with the need for murderous retribution, Liquida
dashes off to the supposedly secure and isolated farmhouse
in Ohio where Paul's daughter, Sarah, had been placed to be
safe. Not appreciating the danger that she and her father
were in, headstrong Sarah chaffed at being confined. Would
her little flirtation with going without protective custody
put her right in Liquida's hands and his masterful skill
with blades?
Knowing the best defensive is an offense, Paul, along with
his girlfriend, Joselyn Cole, and partner Harry Hines leg
it to Thailand following Paul's only faint lead to try and
ferret out Liquida. Meanwhile, two of the most highly
classified scientists at NASA's Defense Advance Research
Projects Agency (DARPA), Lawrence Leffort and Raji Fareed,
decide to cash in on project Thor, the ultra-top secret
technology they have been working on and to trade their
secrets for lots of cash and time in the tropics. Unknown
to them, their key contact and international armament
seller, Bruno Croleva, has decided to have them liquidated
by Liquida once the enemy got what they were seeking.
Meanwhile, previous work done by Madriani had left the
usually ultra careful Liquida a little cash strapped and
needing to do things he normally would not. In this deadly
race of retribution, who would make the deadly mistake?
