. Â A name whispered in hushed tones among the criminal underworld, from Miami to Buenos Aires. Â A name even the drug cartels fear. Â
Yet the General is a man without a face. Â There are no fingerprints on file, no known base of operations, not even a biographical sketch. Â He operates in the shadows, but somehow controls a vast criminal empire.
And he has never made a direct incursion onto U.S. soil -- until now.
In Miami, disgraced DEA agent Fred Hernandez is called to investigate a bizarre crime scene, where the bodies of four drug dealers are sprawled around an iron cauldron. Â Even stranger is the mysterious 'blue lady' that a drug-addled witness claims killed the men.
Lana Valenciano, an ambitious CIA operative, informs Agent Hernandez that the murders might be connected to a legendary South American criminal known as the General. Â Lana claims the General has become a threat to national security -- but has no idea how to find him.
The government's best hope? Â Private investigators Dominic Grey and Viktor Radek, who might be the only people alive with the skills to unravel the General's tangled web. Â
Thrown together on a covert manhunt, Grey and the two agents delve into the darkest reaches of international drug trafficking, only to unearth a sinister chapter in the history of the CIA that has spilled into the present -- and put them in the crosshairs of an underworld puppeteer with a frightening reach.
