Federal Prosecutor Jeff Trask moves to Kansas City to combat the Mafia and a nationwide drug-smuggling ring that is trafficking in the deadly concoction of fentanyl-laced heroin. Joining forces with a team of police detectives and FBI agents, Trask enters a deadly world where crime businesses operate with their own sets of merciless rules. For members of the Kansas City Mob, those rules are violated only by those willing to risk—or to inflict—death. In the meantime, Trask has to balance the extreme demands of his caseload with an impending tragedy on his home front. Matching wits with a criminal mastermind who is willing to violate the laws of both the civilized world and the ruthless Mafia, Jeff Trask is forced to call upon all of his genius and the assistance of his team to bring this Mafia kingpin to the fate he deserves.Author Marc Rainer once again blends professional and personal events from over thirty years of military and federal prosecution experience to create a compelling story of crime fiction hailed by professionals in the field for its realism, and by readers for its sheer entertainment value.About the AuthorMarc Rainer is the pen name for Charles ("Chuck") Ambrose, Jr. He is a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy, and is a former Air Force JAG Circuit Prosecutor and former federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C., and in Kansas City, MO.
