Red Line

A Cole Walker Action Thriller

A border patrol agent sees six men cross the desert.

They aren't migrants.

They're trained.

And someone inside the government wants them to get through.

When Border Patrol agent Ray Delgado discovers that surveillance has been deliberately stripped from a critical section of the Texas border, he expects bureaucratic incompetence.

Then he sees the men crossing.

Six professionals. Military discipline. Specialized equipment. And a mysterious encrypted device that has nothing to do with ordinary cartel operations.

Delgado knows something is wrong.

So does former operative Cole Walker.

When the two men begin pulling at the thread, they uncover a hidden network connecting a powerful Mexican cartel, political action committees, corrupt officials, and two U.S. senators who have quietly manipulated border-security funding.

But the money is only the beginning.

Inside the encrypted device is evidence of a far more dangerous operation-one involving a secret delivery, a covert intelligence network, and a target scheduled for four days in the future.

Then the target is identified.

A major Border Security Solutions Summit.

Eight thousand people.

Two compromised senators on stage.

And a newly constructed power substation that can be sabotaged to plunge the entire event into darkness during a nationally televised keynote.

The goal isn't mass casualties.

It's something potentially more dangerous:

Destabilization.

Create chaos. Destroy public confidence. Make the government look helpless. Then let powerful people exploit the aftermath.

Now Cole Walker has four days to expose the conspiracy and stop an attack that was designed to look like a catastrophic failure of border security.

But the people behind it have resources on both sides of the border.

They have corrupt officials inside the system.

They have cartel gunmen protecting their operation.

And when Cole gets too close to the truth, they start eliminating their own people.

Even the man who can explain the entire operation doesn't survive long enough to tell Cole everything.

Now Cole, Delgado, and a small group of allies must race against the clock to uncover the final pieces of the plot before thousands of innocent people walk into a carefully engineered trap.

Because the real enemy isn't standing across the border.

It's already inside.
