John Hobart has become the henchman for the charismatic televangelist preacher, Simon Blake, who is the funding behind the scheme. Interestingly, the American public's sentiment is on the side of the criminals tainting the drugs not those distributing, using and subsequently dying from the deadly heroin or cocaine.

The chase is on in this riveting thriller as it races along to various locales in Washington, D.C., Baltimore, the woods of western Maryland, Houston, New York City, Oregon, Bogota, Columbia, and Warsaw, Poland. It dispenses with any mystery about who is behind the plot from the vary start, so don't expect a "Who done it" crime mystery. Instead this is a well-written thriller with a odd morality blurred by psychosis, politics, and power.
The review of this Book prepared by David Fletcher




This is the first book written by Kyle Mills, and it is a wonderful look int the mind of someone trying to do good, but going about it in the wrong way. Mark Beamon must step in from his wayward position with the FBI to make a difference...
