About this book
Matt Nelson is struggling to find himself after the tragic loss of his father during a violent cartel shootout in Mexico. Travis Nelson had been a powerful Texas real estate magnate, whose world imploded when his covert deal with a nefarious drug lord suddenly soured. As the former president of his father's company, Matt is lucky to have avoided prosecution in the aftermath of the disastrous scandal that followed. Matt is hired by Dwight Lamar, who has adeptly manipulated and schemed his way out of poverty to the presidency of a new high-profile government venture in Houston where he capitalizes on lax oversight to establish his own fiefdom and big-time scam. He is ruthless and crushes anyone who gets in his way, while all the while maintaining a pristine public image. Matt soon clashes with the self-dealing con-artist and is abruptly fired. Lamar pulls off a masterful "double dare" ruse to bilk millions for himself from an Albanian investor group during a land transaction and immediately vanishes.Matt is determined to bring the man to justice. With the help of his ex-Navy Seal brother, John, and despite the well-intended blunders of his party-hearty sister, Pam, he pursues Lamar all the way to his sanctuary in the West Indies. Just as they are set to apprehend the thief, the situation reverses. The brothers are in desperate straits. Only a miracle can save them.
