Peter Black #12
No Loose Ends
When vengeance crosses the border, order dies screaming.
When CIA operative Peter Black receives a frantic call from fellow agent Olivia Wren, he is dragged into a war he never wanted.
Within hours, Olivia is dead—slain in a ritual killing so grotesque it bears the fingerprints of Los Narcosatánicos, a cartel that has fused the narcotics trade with satanic ceremony.
Vowing vengeance, Peter crosses into Mexico, plunging into a world where migrant caravans vanish, children are branded like cattle, and cartel lords cloak themselves in blood-soaked superstition.
Meanwhile, Peter’s son Michael and his partner Mayu are drawn into the same darkness, fighting for survival on the border—where corruption festers behind every locked gate and every uniform hides a lie.
As Peter hunts the killers, he soon discovers the truth is far more dangerous than the cult’s rituals. Allies shift, enemies multiply, and behind every massacre is the quiet hand of someone in power.
This time, it isn’t just a cartel Peter must take on. It is the illusion of order itself.
The twelfth Peter Black novel plunges into a world of satanic cartels, shattered borders, and a man with nothing left to lose—an unflinching thriller fans of Flynn, Carry, and Greaney won’t put down.

Black takes on Cartels and Corruption.
Another good read in the Black Series. Enough action and intrigue to be interesting but it was a little convoluted of a story. I did like the twist on the twin and who it was. The Cartel Assassin was the most interesting character. The corruption presented might have been a little over the top, I hope. Definitely, enjoyable story and recommend.

This was the absolute best Peter Black chapter yet !!! It's very riveting from beginning to end. Peter had the disadvantage from the word go. Carmichael won for the time being, but I don't think Peter will. He vowed to avenge Olivia, maybe in a later chapter that will happen. 10 🌟 plus!!! Thanks, Carl Clause

Two Blacks
Thrilling, mesmerizing, chaotic and disturbing. David Archer and Vince Vogel team up to write about another fabulous team. They may not be invincible, but they sure are deadly.
