Survival (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798233545856)

Frank Dean, the west coast's top money launderer for the rich and famous, climbs to the dizzy heights of power, then has his life caught up in a whirlwind as organized crime figures and drug cartel members try to force him to transport money and drugs across the international border.

Jetting millions in money laundering cash from Los Angeles to Panama City and establishing shell corporations for movie stars, businessmen and politicians has made this former Army Special Forces soldier an attractive target for crime families and drug lords, who try and force Dean to use his highly successful transport business for their benefit.

A mafia leader threatens to rape and murder his newly adopted daughter if he doesn't cooperate. His general manager in Panama City is kidnapped and held for ransom. And, the woman he loves and her family are threatened with death if she can't convince Dean to do the drug syndicate's bidding.

The multitude of calamitous events makes him re-examine his moral code, his behavior and the terrible consequences his lifestyle has created for those he cares about. Dean makes the decision to quit the money laundering business, but first he has to fight for the survival of those he loves.
