内容简介

An action-packed thriller about the NEXT war on terror...First came "the Slaughter": the Colombian drug cartel launched a massive attack on American soil， assassinating thousands of federal judges and law enforcement officers in an attempt to stop the crackdown on drugs. Then came public outrage: Congress created a new supersecret agency， the Bureau of Illegal Substance Control. BISC operatives short-circuit due process， acting as judge， jury， and executioner for drug traffickers. When she loses her kid brother to a drug OD， Leah Berglund is recruited by BISC. She becomes one of their finest agents and a skillful assassin. She has a perfect kill record for every guilty verdict. Then she is assigned to a special case...Elliott Delgado was a hot shot FBI agent until a burst of machine-gun fire retired him on a disability pension. Now all Del wants is to spend time with his son and enjoy his new career as a Pulitzer Prize--winning reporter. Until he receives a phone call from his old mentor at the FBI....Posing as a research assistant to Del， Leah investigates secret drug charges against him while he uncovers a conspiracy between BISC and the Pentagon. He learns that the war on drugs is about to go nuclear. The Western Hemisphere will be flash-fried if the conspirators are not stopped. As she digs deeper into Del s case， Leah realizes she has been set up to kill an innocent man. Now she and Del are running targets as BISC agents chase them from Mexico to Maine. America s worst nightmare is set to begin if they can t run fast enough.
