The explosive conclusion to the epic Cartel trilogy from a New York Times bestselling author delves into the complexities of a world without borders and the chaos that ensues. Art Keller, having fought for over forty years in America’s longest conflict—the War on Drugs—faces the consequences of his obsession with defeating the Sinaloa Cartel's kingpin, Adán Barrera. His relentless pursuit has left him scarred, costing him loved ones and a piece of his soul.

This final installment is a harrowing tale of vengeance, violence, and justice, offering an unflinching portrait of modern America and resonating deeply with contemporary issues.
