The plot dwells on the cross border underground network of kidnapping, human trafficking and cartels. This is a book that is not just entertaining to read but also enlightening as it reveals lots of information on how criminal syndicates operate. - </em>ILoveUniqueBooks.com</strong></p><p><br></p><p>An impressively violent adventure that moves at a quick pace</em> - Kirkus Reviews​</strong></p><p><br></p><p>The author paints vivid scenes...He sheds light on drug trafficking and human trafficking...which the average person doesn't encounter daily.
