Secrets don't stay hidden forever. Hatchet has a thing for the enigmatic Mr. Smith, Horatio Trap's spokesman. He'd love to get his hands on the pretty man and show him how good it feels to take orders for once rather than hand them out. He's had his eye on Smith for years and he's running out of patience. The Wyverns' involvement in the drug trade is limited to stealing money from the cartels—they don't want junk peddled on their turf. When Trap orders them to destroy a crack cocaine factory in Phoenix, they are happy to oblige. But Smith throws a spanner in the works by posing as a potential buyer, putting himself in mortal danger. Hatchet and The Wyverns come up with a plan to fake Smith's death, muscle in on the deal and convince the cartel to do business with them instead. But when Hatchet's cover is blown he's left to save a bunch of illegals, destroy the drugs and wipe the factory from the face of the planet. It's all in a night's work for The Wyverns—but there are still secrets to uncover and the mysterious Horatio Trap and his mind games can't stay hidden forever.
A dangerous game of deception and violence unfolds when a spokesman for a mysterious figure infiltrates a drug operation. Hatchet, a member of The Wyverns, is fixated on Mr. Smith, the spokesman for Horatio Trap, and desires to assert dominance over him. The Wyverns, who focus on stealing cartel money rather than dealing drugs, are tasked by Trap to destroy a drug factory. Smith's decision to pose as a buyer places him in extreme peril, prompting Hatchet and The Wyverns to devise a plan to fake Smith's death, take over the drug deal, and redirect business to themselves. The narrative framework appears to be third-person, following Hatchet and Smith's intertwined fates.
The premise sets up a high-octane thriller with elements of organized crime and personal vendettas. The narrative appears to focus on intricate plots and dangerous undercover operations, suggesting a fast-paced reading experience. The involvement of a mysterious figure like Horatio Trap hints at psychological manipulation and complex power dynamics at play. The story seems designed to keep readers engaged with escalating stakes and unexpected twists as characters navigate a treacherous underworld.
