β¦ Synopsis
In what Brad Meltzer calls a βsavory Tex-Mex tale, seasoned with all the ingredients of a great thriller,β Texas Ranger Caitlin Strong digs for the truth behind the Opioid Crisis in the next installment of Jon Land's critically acclaimed series
*Mexico, 1898:*Texas Ranger William Ray Strong arrives in the border town of Camino Pass to transport a young Pancho Villa to stand trial, but his plans are waylaid when he learns all of the townβs children have been kidnapped.
*The Present:*The drug crisis hits home for fifth generation Texas Ranger Caitlin Strong when the son of her outlaw lover, Cort Wesley Masters, nearly dies from an opioid overdose.
Determined to make those responsible pay, Caitlin sets out to track down the dealer and pusher, while trying to solve the inexplicable tragedy of a small Texas town where all the residents died in a single night. When she realizes these two pursuits are connected, she finds herself following a trail to the truth of the crisis nestled hard in the center of Americaβs power base.
That power base, comprised of politicians, Big Pharma, along with corrupt doctors and drug distributors, has successfully beaten back all threats in the past. But they have no idea whatβs in store when the guns of Texas come calling.
