A seemingly innocent traffic accident one Saturday afternoon in a small Louisiana town leads to the discovery of a major drug smuggling network operating out of rural East Texas. The subsequent drug trafficking investigation soon intersects with a major FBI money laundering investigation, as it becomes apparent that the small-town drug trafficking operation is part of a sophisticated money laundering enterprise extending into Asia, the Caribbean, and Central America.

The badly splintered commissioners court of a remote Texas border county declares its independence from both Texas and the United States...and is then immediately formally recognized by nearly 60 foreign nations. The resulting tension and conflict that follows between the state of Texas and the federal government—as well as with the newly created Revolutionary Republic of Yucatec del Norte—will not only seem plausible, but frighteningly realistic. Even though this political thriller is a work of fiction, it may not be as far-fetched as it first seems.
