This exhilarating thriller from New York Times bestselling author John Gilstrap takes readers on an action-packed thrill ride across a hostile landscape, where freelance operative Jonathan Grave must navigate ruthless kidnappers, high stakes, and impossible odds. There’s no way he can say no . . .

Henchmen of a vicious drug syndicate have snatched 10 missionaries in a remote area of Venezuela and are holding them for ransom. The high-priority rescue op comes as a personal plea from FBI Director Irene Rivers, who has a very special interest in one of the hostages. The mission is strictly off the books, and there can be no international incident. Just get in and get out—and keep the precious cargo safe.

With his key operatives Gunslinger and Boxers, Grave infiltrates the enemy camp. Right away, the rescue mission morphs into something far more dangerous—not just to Jonathan and his team, but to the whole world.
