IRS Special Agent Tara Holloway is at work again. This time,
she and her partner, Eddie, are after Marcos Mendoza, a
financial expert and suspected loan shark with cross-border
ties to questionable businesses and people in Mexico.
Mendoza hasn’t just cheated the U.S and Mexican governments,
he may have left a trail of bodies, too. Neither the Texas
Rangers nor the FBI could prove a link between Mendoza and
the suspicious deaths of his employees and associates, but
the sheer number of bodies indicates the deaths aren’t mere
coincidence. What’s more, Mendoza bought off Special Agent
Nick Pratt, who’d earlier been assigned to the
investigation, and set the traitor up in a luxury
condominium in Cancún, Mexico.
He must be stopped.
Unfortunately, Mendoza is as elusive as his activities are
illegal. Tracking down this tax cheat proves much more
difficult, and more dangerous, than Tara anticipated. Given
the highly sensitive nature of the case, Tara is forbidden
to disclose the details to anyone, including her boyfriend,
Brett Ellington. Secrets nearly tore the two apart in the
past and history seems destined to repeat itself.
As Tara and Eddie delve deeper into Mendoza’s business
enterprises, they realize his illegal activities extend far
beyond high-interest finance. They also learn Mendoza will
do anything to protect the profitable illegal empire he has
created.
When Tara receives an unexpected call from a surprising
source, she must decide whether to follow orders or follow
through. Tara must risk it all—her relationship with Brett,
her job, and her life itself—to put Mendoza out of business
for good.
