THE MEXICAN GAMBIT

Lead or silver, a bribe or a bullet. Those are the choices in a world of crime, drugs, politics, corrupt politicians, thwarted ambitions, rivalries and revenge. It s no place for a cop who just wants to do his job and keep his hands clean. His wry cynicism and idiosyncratic mindset help keep him sane, but when his boss hands him a murder case with a warning that it isn t an ordinary murder, his life changes. Now he s in the middle of a deadly rivalry between heavyweight egos, one touched with greed and madness, the other obsessed with revenge. His only way out is to take sides, and when he does he s surprised to find allies where he least expected them. In spite of putting his life and that of his family at risk, nothing seems to work until a violent resolution comes from a direction he least expected._,
