War Path

“Pierce turned his thoughts to exactly where they were right now. This empty and remote road they had traversed for the last hour was well inside a dangerous and lawless region of Bolivia called the Yungas Province, a region controlled by a powerful drug cartel, trigger-happy farmers, roaming murder squads, and politically motivated and violent militia groups. Staying in one spot for too long here was never advisable for outsiders, which was exactly who they were and what they were doing right now. But if they were to have any chance of saving Garcia Cardoso’s life, there were clues here they must find first.”

Capsule Summary:

CIA paramilitary operatives Mark Pierce and Rachel Zang are dragged into a cartel war that’s really a proxy battle for something darker. After a DEA ally is murdered, a ghost assassin called Sand Viper and a shadow network named Dekaract force Pierce undercover inside the Gulf Cartel—while stolen missile systems threaten to ignite a cross-border catastrophe.
