The Hydra Effect: Revelations and Betrayal in Mexico City

by Ana Manwaring

Reeling from her break up and not ready to face the emptiness at home, JadeAnne Stone and her dog, Pepper, head to Mexico City at sexy Anibal’s invitation. Anibal reveals he is working under cover for the DEA and enlists JadeAnne to help take down Senator Aguirre’s organized crime network. The investigation leads into a maze of trafficking, greed, and coverup. Help comes from the senator’s associate, Jackman Quint, but at the cost of everything JadeAnne believes about her own life. Can she trust Quint or any of the Aguirre clan? Acting on her own, she discovers the truth, but not before facing the ultimate betrayal.
