The Price of Life

The death of a DEA agent pulls Santana off the cold case investigation of a young woman’s murder and into the dark and lethal world of drug smuggling and sex-trafficking. Soon, he suspects there’s a link between the two cases and a group of wealthy and highly influential men belonging to a secretive club.

Working with the DEA agent’s partner and hunted by a deadly sicario searching for the cartel’s missing half-million dollars and the young woman who stole it, Santana is in a race against time to solve two murders and save the young woman’s life.
