Wow!!! What an action packed and exhilarating read. So different from their other books. Puts me in mind of Tess Gerritsen novels. Love that the story is set in current events. Very well researched regarding the opioid crisis. I honestly learned several new words. And it doesn't hurt that Zane Gordon is one hot FBI Agent. Looking forward to the next Zane book.
A story-line that pulls you in and takes you on a roller-coaster of intrigue, suspense and terror. The drug market is very real and its tentacles are global. Special agent Zane Gordon, FBI, has experience with major drug lords and the power they wield and the extent they will go to protect their underworld. Zane Gordon fights to protect those close to him, friends and fellow law enforcement that are affected or threatened by the seedy criminal underworld. Definitely a MUST READ.
I love the story. It has the suspense intrigue, and action of a James Patterson story. The only negative thing I found was the appearance of a political agenda.
A fast pace suspense novel that drives home the violence of drug syndicates. No one is safe, not even a young teenager in this race for survival.
