I Prostitution is not glamorous, but why is the fighter proud to keep up appearances with courage and devotion at all costs?
Several contenders vie for power in the forbidden, code-named territory in Latin America. Their fighters are organized militaries; only their inner cores know the truth. To the populace, they appear as morally bankrupt criminal gangs.
Top candidates must undergo brutal training, the tortuous race to destroy evil. The goal is to conquer the only livable land for the fulfilled, victorious state. That one is led by an illusive insider. He is off-limits to anyone but his immediate kin. He is priceless, and not only in cash.
When Washington D.C. human rights attorney Craig Malcault’s investigations uncover connections to U.S. military intelligence, the assassins are dispatched. Craig’s job is to extract evidence from the hellish pitfall while the top candidate is en route to face and pass his final test. From the executive branch in Washington D.C. to devastating underground hide-outs, from all force of arms to one man alone, Craig is on the path to discover unheard-of secrets and create panic and terror, while justice might be done … if Craig and his career can survive the lies and the hate.
Will Craig win the race and salvage the controversial, stunning truth, or will chilling savagery tear the world to shreds?

About the author
Maria Ian, Ph.D., J.D., is a medical science writer and a human rights political thriller and romance novelist. With three medical doctors in her immediate family and three in her extended one, Ian felt inspired to investigate the extraordinary, miraculous connection between spirit and energy behind the science. Instead of a scalpel, she chose to pick up the pen. Ian's deep, conflicted characters manage health over disease in confronting incalculable hardships while excelling at the unexpected.
Ian is best known for her series featuring Craig Malcault, a human rights attorney. Craig's surgical dissection of canonical corruption is guaranteed to keep you, the reader, on the edge of your page-turning seat. Maria identifies her heritage as Finnish, British, Ukrainian, Italian, Turkish, central South Asian, and Chinese, which comes in handy when writing new global characters with flare. When not writing, Maria can be found resetting her mind in nature, where she studies the sublime in herbalism and acupressure fitness.
