Out of the frying pan, into the fireAfter his adventures in Biker and Dead Biker, the first two books of the trilogy, Ned Aiken was set up for a quiet life. After falling into the biker world almost by accident, rising throughout the ranks of a major motorcycle gang and eventually betraying its members to the FBI in return for indemnity and witness protection, Ned chafes at his boring mailroom job and the cheap apartment where the Feds make him life. Babysat by a slovenly field agent, insulted and bullied by the bosses he hates, the innocent-looking twenty-something?used to commanding the respect of thugs and living the free-wheeling lifestyle of a drug dealer?is not satisfied with the corporate culture at the bottom of the ladder.Cornered into a delivery job by some sketchy co-workers, Ned soon finds himself neck-deep with the Russian mafia. Sophisticated, violent and possessing a code of honor that doesn't always translate to their North American associates, these are a class of criminal for whom borders and restraint are merely minor problems to be overcome.

Sometimes, you make bad choices. Sometimes, bad choices are made for you.In Biker, the first book of the trilogy, Ned ?Crash? Aiken thought he had made a clean break. He had turned on his biker brothers in the Sons of Satan and entered the FBI's witness protection program, only to end up in a different kind of prison?one of mediocre work and cheap apartments. He then fell in with the Russian mob, learning its brutal code first-hand and fleeing the organization when the stakes got too high. Between the FBI, the Sons, and the Russians, there are a lot of people who want to get their hands on the innocent-looking ex?drug trafficker. Now he's in Mexico, trying to go straight and stay alive. But Mexico isn't like the United States. It isn't even what it was in its heyday?a playground for wealthy, vacationing gringos or college kids partying on the cheap. Ned is no stranger to drugs, violence, and brutality, and what he sees in Mexico he can only try to ignore.
