**Charley Castillo and the former members of Presidential Agent's Office
of Organizational Analysis are officially "retired." But that doesn't
mean they're out of action...
**
At a Mexican roadblock, a US Embassy SUV is stopped at gunpoint, three
of its passengers murdered, and a fourth kidnapped. Everything points to
the drug cartels, especially when the kidnappers say they will return
the hostage if a cartel kingpin is released from US federal prison. But
when word gets to Castillo and his group of retired spies and special
operators, they have their doubts.
They believe that it's a diversion--that the murders and kidnapping were
ordered by someone to lure Castillo & Company to their deaths. But even
knowing that may not save them. Powerful forces in the US government are
arrayed against them as well, and if one side doesn't get them...the
other side will.
