For more than forty years, Art Keller has been on the front lines of America's longest conflict: the war on drugs. His obsession with defeating the world's most powerful, wealthy and lethal kingpin--the godfather of the Sinaloa cartel, Adán Barrera--has left him bloody and scarred. Now Keller is elevated to the highest ranks of the DEA, only to find that in destroying one monster he has created thirty more, who are wreaking even more chaos and suffering in his beloved Mexico and the U.S. Keller finds himself surrounded by enemies: men who want to kill him, politicians who want to destroy him, and worse, the unimaginable--an incoming administration that's in bed with the very drug traffickers Keller is trying to bring down.
