Part of Michael Bennett, book 6
First published 2013
Detective Bennett thought he had won when he arrested Manuel Perrine, the ruthless cartel boss responsible for his best friend's murder. The capture should have ended Perrine's reign of terror. But during his trial, Perrine escapes. In the violent shootout that follows, Bennett kills Perrine's wife. Now Bennett has made himself the primary target of a man with unlimited resources and nothing left to lose. Perrine wants Bennett to suffer and pay for what he has done. The Bennett family flees to a safe house somewhere in California, hoping distance will protect them. But Perrine's attacks on American soil grow more vicious and brazen with each strike. War is coming, and Bennett realizes no amount of security can shield his loved ones. Nobody is safe anymore, not anywhere.
