The second in the Delorean Harper series. Rejected by the government witness security program for being dangerous and unstable, Delorean is on his own against an El Paso drug cartel who wants to punish him for testifying against one of their top lieutenants. Delorean gets an offer of help from a sympathetic federal marshal, Eric Fullmeyer, who offers Delorean a new identity and place to live if he'll leave town without starting a war with the cartel. After a heated confrontation with a pair of cartel killers, Delorean agrees to Eric's offer, and he escapes to a remote Oregon beach town to shake the cartel from his trail. He isn't there long before he's asked by Eric Fullmeyer to protect a beautiful woman who has her own problems with the cartel. Keeping her safe isn't easy - the cartel's relentless hunters know Delorean's moves so well that he suspects that the federal marshals are leaking information about his location. As professional killers track Delorean through snowy forests, in small towns, and on isolated beaches, Delorean is forced to become as ruthless as the cartel killers just to stay alive. As the hunters close in, the woman Delorean has sworn to protect is kidnapped by the cartel and held for ransom in El Paso. If he wants her back, Delorean's going to have to take the fight to the cartel on their home turf. He knows that it's a fight he's guaranteed to lose, but he still has a few cards he can play. After all, the most dangerous creation of society is the man who has nothing left to lose. Set in El Paso, Texas and on the Northern Oregon coast, this is the story of one man's battle against a tidal wave that could take him all the way under.
