Handsome evil drug tsar, murders his wife, seeks to expand from basic drugs and brothels and intimidation to human trafficking in women and children by aligning with a Mexican cartel. Wants what he wants.  Has a decent young son who gets injured and is treated by a lovely, lonely ER Doctor.  He wines and dines and eventually seduces her and brings her into his home.  She finds out what he is, downloads something to drive and intends to turn him in and hopes to care for the son, he finds out, she barely escapes,  then runs and runs and runs.  Ex military types are hired to find and assassinate her and retrieve the information.  Nasty stuff.  One assassin finds he has a conscience, he has,in his opinion,only killed bad guys and when she saves his life after an auto accident, he sees her as someone to save. This is action packed, even when it seems quiet there is a palpable tension which jumps off the  page.  Towards the end, the tension and action were so taut, I started just briefly glancing and skipping pages for a time.  The ending gave hope for healing.  Almost too fast paced but was hard to put down.
