In the parts of Orlando where tourists never go, Robert Silencer plies his trade as Central Florida's top private investigator.Still bitterly haunted by a botched operation that had gotten an awfully lot of good people needlessly killed, Robert Silencer had resigned from the DEA two years ago. But now an old friend tries desperately to get him to return. Unable to trust anyone under his own command, William Singleton, the chief administrator of the DEA for all of Florida, begs Silencer to take on one last case.Reluctantly, Silencer agrees and he starts off on a mission to find Kari Kristensen, a Norwegian national, who has disappeared on the streets of New York City. She alone knows the secret that can bring down the Mendosa Cartel's latest cocaine distribution network.When Silencer agreed to take on the case, he knew that he'd be facing a tremendous amount of danger. But what he didn't count on was falling in love.With a five million dollar bounty on their heads, Silencer leads Kari on a frenzied cross-country odyssey, while trying frantically to stay at least one step ahead of the Cartel's hired assassins. They must track down one of the Cartel's top leaders, a man known only as Labul, and take him out. It's their one and only chance of survival.
