When a ruthless Mexican crime cartel snatches a
world-renowned kidnap/ransom negotiator off the streets of
Mexico City, the repercussions are dangerous and
far-reaching. His company sends in a team of mercenaries to
locate and rescue him, which pits them against an evil
enemy that will stop at nothing to achieve its goals. When
things go from bad to worse, Jake Riley's company becomes
involved, since one of the members of the original rescue
team is Jake's brother. Not knowing who is alive or dead,
Jake must utilize all the skills and resources he can to
save as many people as possible.
FBI Agent Kelly Jones, Jake's fiancée, is still
recuperating after almost losing her life on the last case
they worked. Even knowing she's not really ready to tackle
a mission of this magnitude, she insists on accompanying
Jake to Mexico. After evaluating the dangerous situation,
it's decided that Kelly is in no way prepared to
participate, and she's told to return home immediately. She
reluctantly agrees to placate Jake, but she has an ulterior
motive for being in Mexico -- and a different undertaking
to follow. Kelly has intel that a fearsome adversary from
an earlier case is not dead, as everyone believes, but has
been spotted in the slums of Mexico City. Intent on proving
her worth, Kelly starts investigating on her own, never
knowing how the outcome will affect her life and those she
loves.
Michelle Gagnon has again given readers an intense,
fast-paced crime thriller with characters we've come to
know and care about over the course of this series. She
ratchets up the suspense for a powerful ending, leaving us
to wonder what's next for Kelly and how she'll handle it.
When the world’s foremost kidnap and ransom negotiator is
snatched by a ruthless drug cartel, Jake Riley becomes
ensnared in the effort to save him. But he’s up against Los
Zetas, an elite paramilitary organization renowned for its
ferocity and skill. Now he and his colleagues must navigate
the dark underbelly of Mexico, from raging street wars to
perilous jungles, in an effort to rescue him before time
runs out.
After nearly losing her life on her last case, FBI Agent
Kelly Jones may never do fieldwork again. Determined to
regain her confidence, she joins Jake on his mission—and
quickly realizes she’s in over her head. Then in the slums
of Mexico City, she encounters a former nemesis who’s
enacting a nightmarish ritual on the weak and vulnerable.
Now she has one last, desperate shot to prove herself—by
taking down a killer.
