About this ebook
Admitting the drug trade was out of control and the War on Drugs a complete failure, a covert collaboration between the DEA and the CIA develops a drug that in only five years has completely devastated the illegal drug market.
The first half of the mission a success, the plan to eradicate the drug lords and then focus on treatment has gone terribly wrong. All because someone in the agency doesn't want to relinquish control.
Now Daniel Burke is fighting for his life. A double-crossed CIA agent, he's forced to confront his own people, in addition to an overzealous FBI agent known for always getting her man--and the combined forces of the Colombian drug lords who see Burke as "target number one."
Can Burke evade his own people, escape the FBI and still manage to bring the drug cartels to their knees?
