It starts with a simple Happy Face drawn on a business card.
It ends in murder.

At first, the case seems cut and dry but it quickly devolves into something different, something unlike anything ex-NYPD Detective Damien Drake has investigated before. Instead of getting his hands dirty, this killer prefers others to do his dirty work for him. This is a murderer like no other: a coward who gets others to do his bidding for them, leveraging those they love to commit the worst possible crimes imaginable, which means that Drake is not searching for one man, but dozens of people.

All of whom have proven they are capable of committing some of the worst crimes known to man.

Oh, and first he needs to escape the clutches of a deranged cartel leader deep in the jungles of Colombia.
