In the Appalachian highlands, Sheriff Maggie Blackburn watches a key witness collapse—dead before he can speak. The Trust, the criminal syndicate she and Alex Harlan believed dismantled, has reemerged—smarter, deadlier, and deeply entrenched.
What begins as a single suspicious death escalates into a coordinated purge. Witnesses vanish. Evidence evaporates. And a sprawling drug network—disguised as pharmaceutical logistics—funnels cartel product across borders with surgical precision. When Alex accepts an off-the-books FBI mission in Mexico, he enters cartel territory and a volatile alliance with Agent Keller, whose loyalties may be as layered as the case itself.
As Maggie and Alex chase leads across state lines and international borders, they uncover a web of corruption that reaches into federal agencies, political offices, and multinational corporations. The Trust isn’t just surviving—it’s thriving behind a façade of legitimacy, protected by power and enforced with ruthless efficiency.
With a major shipment inbound and the body count rising, Maggie and Alex must decide how far they’re willing to go when justice demands confronting not just criminals—but the institutions that shield them.
In this explosive final chapter of the Ridge Lines trilogy, the war against the Trust turns personal. And this time, survival may not be enough.
Genre: Mystery
