Scott Stiletto returns in this explosive ninth adventure of his best-selling series! You've never read action like this before! Defecting drug cartel leaders? It's not an assignment Stiletto wants, but it’s one he was built for. Carlos and Jackeline Guardado, leaders of a cartel sharing their name, have been funneling information to the US for a decade, damaging cartels world-wide, leading to billions of dollars in losses and the assassinations of high-profile drug thugs. Now they’re cashing in on a promise—the promise of a new life and new identities in the US. But they have to escape alive first. Stiletto travels to Colombia to coordinate the defection, and right away finds himself hip deep in hostility. Somebody’s figured out what Carlos and Jackeline have done, and now they’re marked for death. With their teenage daughter in tow, Stiletto risks everything to get them to freedom, or die trying. “A fast-paced, hard-edged trip through a hail of bullets and vengeance.”
