"In his first action novella set in the southwest, Schenck introduces Shandy Randall, an FBI agent, who is caught between the dangers and characters of the Southwest, the Cartel, and a plot to involve the US in the battle against drug trafficking in Mexico. The action crosses through Juárez where femicides, fear and Cartel crime force Special Agent Randall to lead a group of US citizens fighting their way back to safety in the US."
