After successfully running the bloody take over of the drug business from the Texas border all the way to Miami, Hugo wants out.
But nobody quits the cartel.
He turns to the only man he can trust, Dennis Trunk. Trunk turns to the man who was his mentor when he was first starting his criminal career. Walter Johnson leaves his peaceful retirement in Rio to help out the man he considers his second son.
Can Walter, Dennis, former sniper Tommy, and gun dealer Denise get Hugo out alive? Can they use Hugo's latest expansion as cover for his escape? California is the largest drug market in the country and the latest jewel in the crown for the cartel. Another cartel already controls the market and won't give it up without a battle.
A young woman gets on a bus in Amarillo, Texas headed for New Orleans. She's running from her abusive drug dealing boyfriend. But she stole all his money and his drugs when she left and he wants them back. She wants to make a new start in New Orleans and attend nursing school. But he wants her dead. Dennis Trunk is on that bus heading for New Orleans. In his bag are fake passports, prepaid debit cards, guns, and three bombs, enough to put him on death row for a recent explosion.
Armand can consistently hit a target with a handgun one hundred yards away. He's smart too, but nobody notices that because he's so good with a gun. Armand is new to Hugo's security team. Can he stop Hugo's exit plan?
This is Trunk's toughest job ever. Too many ways to make mistakes and most of them fatal.
