Award-winning author Brad Parks delivers a tense novel of thrills,
twists, and deceit that grabs you and won’t let go until the final,
satisfying page. Tommy Jump is an out-of-work stage actor
approached by the FBI with the role of a lifetime: Go undercover at a
federal prison, impersonate a convicted felon, and befriend a fellow
inmate, a disgraced banker named Mitchell Dupree, who knows the
location of documents that can be used to bring down a ruthless drug
cartel . . . if only he’d tell the FBI where they are. The women
in Tommy’s life, his fiancée and mother, tell him he’s crazy to
even consider taking the part. The cartel has quickly risen to become
the largest supplier of crystal meth in America. And it hasn’t done
it by playing nice. Still, Tommy’s acting career has stalled, and
the FBI is offering a minimum of $150,000 for a six-month
gig—whether he gets the documents or not. Using a false name and
backstory, Tommy enters the low-security prison and begins the process
of befriending Dupree. But Tommy soon realizes he’s underestimated
the enormity of his task and the terrifying reach of the cartel. The
FBI aren't the only ones looking for the documents, and if Tommy
doesn’t play his role to perfection, it just may be his last act.
