When Tom and Sheila Stanford go to a Public storage auction to purchase a travel trailer for their upcoming trip to Mexico, they come across a locker of misprinted shirts for sale. Figuring to donate them to the children at the orphanage they buy the locker and go about their business. The boxes however contained more than shirts, they contained cash...a lot of cash...and it belonged to the Canton Cartel. Guerro is sent to recover the missing boxes, and violence is a way of life for him. The Stanfords find themselves being stalked and attacked by an enemy with seemingly endless resources. Stanford calls his old friend Bull, and the cartel soon finds out that it may have bitten off more than it can chew. As casualties mount on both sides, Tom and Sheila go into hiding and begin planning how to survive. With Bull and a group of former Marines, Tom takes a stand while the authorities try to stop the Cartel from tearing apart the city.

I have to say I'm quite impressed with this one. I've read Mr. Ted M. Nutly Gone Feral Series and was interested in how this played out.

This is a fast paced thrilled focused on a drug cartel that lost quite a bit of hidden money. What a thrill ride this is. Has lots of twist and turns as well as some nice military characters and lingo. Quite a thrilling book all over a storage locker. I loved it and couldn't put it down since I had to see how much the drug cartel owned the cops. These are some guys you don't want to screw around with for sure unless you got some heavy weapons and knowledge!

Highly recommend if you love thrillers and crimes. While for sure different than The Gone Feral series I quite enjoyed this book for sure. I'm impressed!

Mr. Nulty has a winner with this one. This story is fast paced, exciting, and relevant. I was engaged from the first page to the end. The protagonists are likable and realistic. The antagonists are believable and scary. There is a clear good versus bad theme and it's fun to see the good triumph. The story is timeless and one that can be enjoyed by readers of any genre. I hope to see more of this type of book from this author.
