It causes misery, poverty and death. An unwinnable war: Cocaine is worth billions of dollars a year to the drug cartels who spread their evil seed across Western society. And slowly its power is spreading. A man on a mission ex-CIA special ops, Paul Devereux, intellectual, dedicated and utterly ruthless, is given what seems like an impossible task: Stop the drug barons, whatever it costs. He must assemble a team equal to the lawless men who control this deadly trade. At his disposal, anything he wants - men, resources, money. Up to now, the forces of law and order have played by the rules. An unthinkable solution: Up to now the drug cartels have had it their way. Those rules no longer apply. That is about to change. and a dirty war is about to get a whole lot dirtier. 2011.
