THE SUMMIT HOUSE MURDER. She left him for power. Now she’s vanished—and the search will expose a deadly empire built on addiction and lies.

When a client walks into the Judge’s office, begging for help to find his ex-girlfriend, it seems like a lost cause born of heartbreak. As the trail deepens, the line between the hunted and the hunter begins to collapse. The Judge must confront not only the ruthless machinery of a cartel but the secrets that bind every person in its orbit—including his client.
