The $500 billion-a-year illegal-drug-trafficking business has a secret relationship with seemingly legitimate bankers and mainstream financial markets which is exposed by a story in the press that reverberates on front pages around the world. The question that even legitimate investigators seem not to be asking is: "Where's the Money?" Unlikely partners Jon Reynolds, PhD (computer-encryption wunderkind who has a personal, vested interest in the outcome), and Katie Ruiz, a talented investigative reporter with a checkered past, devise a dangerous and clandestine plan to expose the business and the players in it -- as well as to reveal to the general public the staggering proportions of the scheme. Implementing it means Jon and Katie will face cartels, violence, corruption, and an inept DEA -- in addition to their own fears and demons. This is a story grounded in real facts that exist in the real world -- our world. It is also a telling statement about the impact that ordinary citizens can have on world events -- an unlikely "Power of One" tale.
