Publisher's summary

International bestselling author Jeffery Deaver explores the borderline between lies and loyalty in a story of a brotherhood on the brink.

In the wake of a disastrous firefight with a Mexican cartel, two El Paso police officers find themselves in a military hospital facing a debriefing about what went wrong. As their accounts unfold, Tony, a by-the-book cop, begins to believe that hotheaded Matt might have divided loyalties. Could he have intentionally led the team into a trap that saw the death of a beloved senior officer? Or is the truth even more terrifying than Tony dares to imagine?

Thrilling Short with Excellent Twists & Turns


This was my first book from this author. I love the Kindle singles since they give you an opportunity to sample an author's work without a large time commitment. This was a fantastic thriller with excellent twists and turns I did not see coming. A fast paced excellent short. I read this book using immersion reading while listening to the audio book. Scott Merriman did a wonderful job on the narration. I have a few other short stories from this author to sample.

Short but great storyline!

The author has written a fantastic novel with plenty of intrigue and suspense! The novel is a little bit shorter than most but still an excellent novel! The narration is superb!

Betrayed DEA-El Paso PD Operation in Mexico?

I thoroughly enjoyed this short story. Two El Paso policemen caught in an explosion in a cartel warehouse wake up in a hospital. Two FBI agents arrive to debrief them in order to discover who betrayed their operation. There is an unexpected answer to that question.

Great short listen!! Patrick Warburton??

Love anything by Jeffery Deaver!! This is no disappointment with all the expected unexpected twists and turns!! I also found it amusing that the narrator does a voice for one of the characters that I thought sounded like a dead on impression of Patrick Warburton!!!
