Masas' Mexican cartel is flooding the Chicago area with drugs and illegal aliens, and Gatewood is sent to help shut down his operation. Gatewood's mission is also complicated by the Solntsevskeya Bratva Pravda Russian mafia, which runs the biggest prostitution ring in Chicago, and the Yakaza, which runs guns from the Windy City to Tokyo, Japan. A beautiful CIO informant, Adela Igone, falls in love with Gatewood, and romantic sparks fly as the two work together to try to take down the Masas cartel's illegal activities. Gatewood plans also include a revenge killing of Masas, the man who he holds responsible for the deaths of Jeong Eun, his former lover, and Luisa Gaicia, a woman he loved deeply. Interference from Chicago's mayor, Illinois' governor and speaker of the house, both of its senators from Washington, and a federal judge also stand in Gatewood's way of successfully taking down “The Hornet.” Please enjoy this exciting, danger-filled story.
