Double-Blind
The gamble? Outwitting a major drugs cartel.
The prize? Ten million dollars.
The forfeit? Your life.
Melissa Wade is a DEA agent, one of the best. From being an undercover operative living on the very edge of the law, to a field officer with the audacity to carry out clandestine assignments that few people can even dream about, she's become a legend amongst her colleagues in the Latin American bureau.
Except now she's dead - killed in a car crash on the outskirts of New York City – leaving her superior, Tom Kellerman, with only one option if he's ever going to bring down the Salcido cartel, the most feared - and deadly - of the six main drugs families in Mexico. Melissa had been working on a carefully orchestrated plan to entrap James Doyle, the cartel's senior enforcer, and make him turn State's evidence against the Salcidos. But Melissa was essential to the plan if it was to have any chance of success . . .
The answer Kellerman’s problem is a dentist in Spanish Harlem - Melissa's identical twin sister, Laura. A woman who can easily pass for Melissa in the short time he still needs to ensnare Doyle.
Then comes the news that the cartel's chief accountant has gone on the run after embezzling millions of dollars from his employers. All hell is about to break loose on the streets of Mexico City as the ruthless narco-barons pull out all the stops to hunt him down. Added to which Kellennan's trump card - Laura - is hiding a very dangerous secret from him.
The perfect sting is about to go question is, who can be trusted?
