Still in Argentina tying up loose ends from his
investigation into the UN oil-for-food scandal, Castillo is
startled when a young man is marched into his office at
gunpoint, caught trying to sneak through the fence. It
turns out he's an American officer, a lieutenant assigned
to the embassy in Paraguay. A key agent for the DEA has
disappeared while trying to interdict drugs and very little
is being done about it, for phony diplomatic reasons. The
lieutenant's heard of Castillo, knows what he's done, and
wants his help in getting the agent back. More than that,
he's got an innovative plan for dealing with the drug lords
themselves.
Intrigued, Castillo gets permission to try it, but the
President has just one warning for him: Don't get caught.
Charley couldn't agree more-but it might turn out to be
something easier said than done. . . .
