There's no clean break from a dirty life.
Geronimo, known to the world as G, is a cartel enforcer famous for leaving a trail of bodies. The kingpin's half-nephew, he's only ever known humanity's darker side, but as a husband and father-to-be, he wants more for himself and his family. Ready to leave his blood-soaked past behind, G is desperate for "an exit strategy," but before he and his wife, Carmen, find one that will work, his cartel orders a hit on him-one that goes horribly wrong, leaving G running from the law and the people he once considered family. In a world where the only way out is to kill or be killed, G faces the ultimate dilemma: how do you outrun danger when the danger is you?
"Pulse-pounding action and complex characters."
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Ruhl (author of Takedown) strikes a clever balance between the action-driven plot and a deeper story of a man grappling with his identity, caught between the monster he was trained to be and the man he desperately wants to become. The result is a riveting study on violence, morality, and second chances."
