After surviving combat tours in the Middle East, Tom Keeler’s in town for less than an hour and three men try to kill him. Nice place, nice try.

He could just walk away, get back on the train and take it from there. But Keeler is drawn back to Alencourt. Perhaps it’s the beautiful policewoman, Cecile Nazari, who tells Keeler that the attack was a case of mistaken identity. Maybe, it’s the fact that the people who attacked him might be the same people who left his French cousin in a wheelchair.

Or maybe it’s the connection Keeler finds between these attacks and reports of asylum seeking girls from the Middle East going missing in the area.

Whatever the reason, Keeler becomes interested in what’s going on, which isn’t great news for the bad people preying on the weak and defenseless.

They thought they could get away with murder, but they never counted on coming up against Keeler.

A seaside paradise. An endless war. Everyone pays in blood.

The cartels in Mexico have splintered, triggering violent conflict over control of the illicit drug trade. One has risen to power above all others with its brutal methods: The Riviera. Led by a shadowy figure known only as Kukulkan, this powerful cartel has become the main source of Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid fifty times more potent than heroin. As mutilated bodies appear on the pristine white sands of local beach communities, investors fear for the worst…their time of peaceful prosperity has come to an end.

When the only son of a wealthy family goes missing in the heart of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, Alex Schofield is sent in to find him. A highly trained ex-Delta soldier, he’s the best man for the job. There’s only one catch: he has sworn to never kill again.

Amid the escalating conflict, a darkness grows among the dense forests and Maya ruins. As the search brings Schofield closer, he must confront his own violent past and decide if bloodshed is once again, the only way.

In this riveting adventure thriller, D.W. Whitlock explores the darker aspects of the human soul and the struggle to do what’s right in a shadowy world defined by violence and death.
