Two CIA officers and a Special Ops team try to exchange cash and uncut diamonds for some of Uncle Sams sophisticated weapons in South America. Unfortunately, the purchase goes terribly wrong and most of the operatives are killed or missing.

Since most of the money and all of the diamonds disappeared in South America, the US government, in general, and the US Army, in particular, prosecuted the only person who survived the attack: Jake Kelly.

After 7 long years in prison for a crime he did not commit, Jake wants to clear his name. Not long after his release, he receives a strange phone call, urging him to come to Atlanta (even though that violates his parole).

As he is entering the bar where he is to meet the contact, suddenly a man is intentionally struck and gravely injured. Jake realizes that he is one of the 2 men who were missing after the botched weapons-for-money-and-diamonds exchange.

Now starts a cat-and-mouse game Jake is trying to prove his innocence while US Marshals are looking to take him back to prison. The story is interesting and a quick read!
