Charley Castillo and the former members of Presidential Agent's Office of Organizational Analysis are officially retired. But that doesn't mean they're out of action... At a Mexican roadblock, a US Embassy SUV is stopped at gunpoint, three of its passengers murdered, and a fourth kidnapped. Everything points to the drug cartels, especially when the kidnappers say they will return the hostage if a cartel kingpin is released from US federal prison. But when word gets to Castillo and his group of retired spies and special operators, they have their doubts. They believe that it's a diversion--that the murders and kidnapping were ordered by someone to lure Castillo & Company to their deaths. But even knowing that may not save them. Powerful forces in the US government are arrayed against them as well, and if one side doesn't get them...the other side will.

As a Griffin junkie I waited impatiently for this one to come out. I wanted to see where "Charlie" and his mad band would end up this time. This story was very current day and interesting, but due to story progression it doesn't have the military edge that this story line had in the beginning. I still loved the book and recommend it highly!

Poorly written, poorly conceived
I have every one of Griffin's books. They were some of my favorites. Since he brought his son in as a co author the quality has declined.
After reading 30% of this one I closed it. I
found a disfunctional plot and an excess of characters that made it hard to follow. Started strong, and went quickly downhill.
