Once free, Keith is approached by the U.S. DEA, wanting to take advantage of his connection with Gomez. Given little choice but to comply and become a DEA agent, Keith soon learns that his role as an undercover private banker to the ruthless Mexican drug cartels is one of the most dangerous assignments in the world. If discovered, both he and his family will pay the ultimate price for betrayal. This chilling novel delves into the inside workings of Mexican drug cartels and the DEA, and reveals one man's courage in outwitting them both in his personal battle for redemption.
