Nourished by the worldwide drug trade it controls, the Mafia is alive and well - but threatened. Determined to destroy this evil organization, Jerry Danielsm the newly appointed U.S. drug czar, and other characters we have met in "Dominion of the Gadiantons" and "Angel of Armageddon" circle the globe to simultaneously arrest several drug-trade leaders and bring them to trial. In an operation code-named Scorpion, however, the Mafia's cruel tentacles - personified by a ruthless killer - strike back to snuff out the lives of Danials and his family. This tauty written suspense thriller brings the author's trilogy to a rousing, action-filled conclusion that readers - whether or not they have read the two previous stories - will not want to miss.
