An intense deep-dive into the cartel underworld—and its temptations—as seen through the eyes of undercover police officer Javier Guzman.

Tampa Bay, Florida, 1992. Javier—a Spanish-speaking street-smart cop who had grown up in the South Bronx—is a decorated cop who produces results. Recently awarded Officer of the Year, he is married to a beautiful and brilliant attorney, Elizabeth. Javier knows exactly what he’s getting into when he goes undercover in Operation PROMO, infiltrating a savage Colombian drug cartel. He lives on the edge every day, with shotguns pressed against his forehead, threats of torture, and constant fear of being discovered and disappeared.

Things are not as they appear in the wilderness of mirrors that is the reality of an undercover narc. Javier becomes mired in a living web of lies, deceit and betrayal, where surviving the day is a victory. As the strain increases, the cracks begin to appear yet Javier's calls for help are dismissed. The black-and-white lines that governed his life and made him a coveted undercover cop blur. Javier begins to sympathize with the people he is supposed to be targeting.

While straddling the fence between good and evil, Javier makes a decision that will haunt him forever .

Riptide is a raw, unflinchingly honest, and action-packed page-turner. Filled with drug cartels, undercover police work, heroism, death, romance, and the ultimate betrayal, Riptide begs the reader to answer the question: Does Javier Guzman deserve redemption?
