“A revelation…This is Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid on autoload.” —Stephen King

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Force, City on Fire, and The Power of the Dog comes a captivating combination of true crime and suspense that reveals the cost of one amazing high.

Ben, Chon, and O are twentysomething best friends living the dream in Southern California. Together they have made a small fortune producing premium grade marijuana, a product so potent that the Mexican Baja Cartel demands a cut. When Ben and Chon refuse to back down, the cartel kidnaps O, igniting a dizzying array of high-octane negotiations and stunning plot twists as they risk everything to free her. The result is a provocative, sexy, and darkly engrossing thrill ride, an ultracontemporary love story that will leave you breathless.
