Shadows of the Fathers

HE WAS ALWAYS DESTINED FOR BLOOD. Hunter Long’s job as a CIA analyst is just a distraction from his internal battle with the ghosts of his past, from the man he accidentally killed to the one who supposedly killed his parents when he was a kid. He lives in the shadow of his late grandfather, a CIA legend, until a gruesome cartel murder signals a consolidation of power in Mexico and thrusts him into a high-stakes international conspiracy. And when he learns of a family secret that can only be unlocked in Mexico, he has no choice but to leave the safety of a desk for the country he swore he’d never return to and finds himself face-to-face with the relentless new cartel leader.  As the young cartel boss assumes power in a sinister scheme to take over the country by spilling more blood, a Mexico plagued by violence becomes the stage for a dangerously close U.S. proxy war with China and Russia. Haunted by his family’s secrets, Hunter must confront the violent instincts he has long suppressed to prevent a global catastrophe and battle his personal demons to become the lethal machine he was destined to be.
