No One to Trust

By Iris Johansen

The DEA wants to take down ruthless drug lord Rico Chavez. They enlist soldier of fortune, Sean Galen, to locate Elena Kyler, the mother of Rico’s five year old son, Barry. The DEA plan to use Barry and Elena as bait in a trap for Rico Chavez, who is desperate to gain custody of his son. But Rico is a very wealthy man and he has a lot of power, fueled by bribes and intimidation. Elena is inclined to trust no one and, as a deadly assassin, she is used to taking care of herself and her young son. But she turns to the DEA and Sean Galen in a last ditch effort to free herself and Barry from Rico’s evil clutches.

This is a fast-paced story with lots of action and a "who can you trust" mentality. It was a pretty good read, although towards the end I was getting tired of all the double-dealing.
