A Sudden Emotional Chaos

“They ran from fate, but fate ran faster.”

When a single mother dies, witnessing her youngest son’s fatal fall, her three surviving children flee San Diego to avoid being separated. But survival comes at a brutal cost.

The eldest son abandons his siblings. The middle brother falls into cartel work—first driving a getaway car, then smuggling fentanyl across the border. Their sister, forced into stripping, is pulled into the mob’s darkest trade: selling newborns.

Now, a broken DEA agent searching for redemption sees their paths collide with the cartel’s empire. But in a world where family is both weapon and weakness, survival demands betrayal.

Fans of Don Winslow and Dennis Lehane will devour this raw, unflinching crime thriller about blood ties, desperation, and the deadly price of escape.
