Ex-CIA Officer Patrick Evans is too late to save his colleague from a drug overdose, but just in time to kill the Chinese spy responsible. The two killings trigger an avalanche of twisted connections, treason at the highest level, and grim deaths in quiet places. Drafted to investigate by his Congresswoman employer, Pat follows a trail of chemicals and money from the Chinese provinces to Mexico City, and back home to Washington DC, where the Fentanyl boom is secretly financing one man's political machine. The circle of trust Pat can rely on rapidly contracts as his search takes him steadily higher on the Capitol Hill food chain, and to an untouchable man of influence and power, unless Pat can use his foe's vanity and arrogance to bring him down. Join a determined and remorseless Pat as he moves between darkened Mexican side streets and trendy watering holes in the nation's capital, all the while himself a target of killers-for-hire and a vengeful Chinese intelligence officer. The sequel to Tom DeGeorge's debut novel, “Casualties”, in a series that weaves authentic Agency tradecraft and culture into an action thriller perfect for the fans of Mark Greaney and Lee Child.
