In the past when their turf was challenged, Chon took care of eliminating the threat. But now they may have come up against something that they can’t handle-the Mexican Baja Cartel wants in, sending them the message that a “no” is unacceptable.

O’s abduction sets off a dizzying array of ingenious negotiations and gripping plot twists that will captivate readers eager to learn the costs of freedom.

Will linger with you long after the final page * Time Out * Winslow on rip-roaring form, his most stylish, pacy and blood-soaked novel yet ... A brilliantly clever game of cat and mouse ... Vibrant, stylish and captivating ... A true thriller -- Henry Sutton * Mirror * Rejoice - Don is back on the drugs ... Winslow has few equals * Independent * This is Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid on autoload. Winslow's stripped-down prose is a revelation -- Stephen King
