From the mean streets of Portland, Oregon, to the steaming jungles of Guatemala, nothing will stop Michael Colton from bringing cop killer Paiyaso Garcia to justice. Not even a confrontation with FAR rebels. With the help of an Air Force Pararescueman, Osvaldo Perez, Paiyaso is spirited out of the rebel stronghold and loaded into Perez's small plane. But leaving the airport was difficult. After a harrowing escape in a shot-up Cessna T210, flying at night through steep canyons to avoid radar and buffeted by the fury of a hurricane, the men reach Veracruz, Mexico, where a jet waits to transport Colton and Paiyaso to Portland. But things are not over yet. Portland's weak criminal justice system once again fails her citizens and allows Paiyaso bail. Set on vengeance, the criminal goes after Colton's employer, Adrian Wulff, and kidnaps his girlfriend, Karen. In the explosive conclusion, Paiyaso learns why you don't trifle with Marines and a Hunter/Killer K-9 named Dog.
