The key to every mission is to come back alive. Jake Logan knows what he wants to do with the rest of his life, but the restaurant and bar he wants to open on one of the world's most scenic bays is going to cost some serious cash. So when Frank Palmer, his old Special Forces buddy now with a semi-clandestine government agency calls with a big money, high-risk job, Jake is in, even though he knows that jobs like this only pay well because living through them is far from a given. A smuggling operation, twenty kilos of cocaine and the two worst gangsters in Cape Town mix together in a deadly undercover cocktail where Jake must impersonate a German enforcer. When two Russians and a Honduran hit man throw a wrench in the works-not to mention Frank's sexy sister, a bodyguard with a personality and a face to match as well as revenge seeking Colombians-Jake finds himself with nowhere to turn, no one to trust and a long way from making it back alive.
