Valentine Pescatore, a volatile rookie Border Patrol agent, is trying to survive the trenches of The Line in San Diego. When he gets in trouble for pursuing a suspect across the border, he finds himself recruited as an informant by Isabel Puente, a beautiful U.S. agent investigating a powerful Mexican crime family.
As he infiltrates the mafia, Pescatore falls in love with Puente, and clashes with her ally Leo Mendez, chief of a specialist Tijuana police unit. All three have the same aim: to bring down the drug cartels. But in a world built on lies and corruption, how do you know who you can trust?
As Pescatore gets drawn ever deeper into the criminal underworld, the stage is set for an explosive showdown full of bloodshed and betrayal.
Writing with rapid-fire intensity, Sebastian Rotella captures the despair and intrigue of the borderlands, where enforcing the law has become an act of subversion - an explosive and riveting debut.
