Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Bestselling author Don Winslow presents a gripping novel about today's drug market and kingpins. Set in 2004, Ad#65533;n Barrera is in a California prison. His nemesis, ex-DEA agent Art Keller, spends his time at a monastery after having lost everything in his 30-year feud with Barrera. Barrera escapes and, even though there's a two million dollar contract on Keller's life, he's the only one capable of catching him. Amidst escalating violence, the two become embroiled in a struggle that takes them throughout Mexico and the United States.
