Zero Trace

They took his daughter. He'll take their entire world. John Virgil was a ghost long before he started hunting. A former National Guard soldier haunted by a fractured relationship with his daughter, Melissa, his quiet life as a construction manager shatters when she dies from fentanyl-laced ecstasy at a college party. Grief quickly curdles into icy rage, igniting a single, brutal purpose: vengeance against the Mexican cartel responsible for the poison flooding American streets.
But this is no ordinary father seeking justice. Virgil reactivates military skills long dormant, transforming himself into a meticulous and deadly hunter. He leaves zero trace of his old life behind, embarking on a one-man war deep into the heart of cartel territory. His targets aren't street dealers; they are key cogs in a ruthless machine - processing labs, distribution hubs, high-level lieutenants.
Each strike is precise, lethal, and draws unwanted attention. Soon, Virgil isn't just the hunter; he's the hunted. A determined CIA agent, Maria Vasquez, is tasked with stopping the American vigilante causing an international incident. As their paths collide, a deadly game of cat-and-mouse ensues across the borderlands, blurring the lines between justice and law. But the cartel and the CIA are only the beginning.
Virgil's relentless pursuit uncovers a conspiracy reaching into the highest levels of power - a chilling connection between the narco-terrorists and corrupt U. S. officials protecting the deadly trade. When his crusade interferes with a clandestine Delta Force operation, Virgil is forced into an uneasy alliance with the elite operators who see him as both an asset and expendable bait. Caught between cartels, covert ops, and a conspiracy that defies borders, can one man's quest for vengeance survive? Or will his hunt leave zero trace of the man he once was?ZERO TRACE is a blistering, high-octane revenge thriller perfect for fans of Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp, and Mark Greaney's Gray Man.
Packed with non-stop action, gritty realism, and intricate plotting, this book explores the cost of vengeance and the dark corners of the fentanyl crisis.
