Cash McCahill, a criminal lawyer at the top of his game, turns down
cartel clients and their dirty money. That is, until a lethal drug
czarina, La Tigra, forces him to defend an unwinnable case and win
it--or else.
Criminal defense lawyer Cash McCahill pleads for his life before a jury
of one: La Tigra, the lethal leader of a drug cartel. To avoid ending up
as an appetizer for her pet tiger, he promises to defend the case of her
choice and win it.
When La Tigra calls in the chit, Cash has no way out of cartel hell,
except death. Lose at trial, and he will pay with his life. Win, and he
becomes the go-to mouthpiece for merchants of death--surviving only as
long as he keeps winning.
A rival cartel moves into Texas and gives Cash a choice: work for the
new killers on the block or die at La Tigra's side. Bombings on both
sides of the border put Cash in the crosshairs of two gangs and two
governments.
As if there is a difference.
To escape the clutches of the cops and the cartels, Cash must broker a
ceasefire, but peace and his deliverance will come with a heavy price.
