Hard hitting. Fast paced. High stakes. Welcome to the seventh instalment of the Black Force Shorts series from Matt Rogers, a million-copy bestseller and 'a bright new talent shaking up the genre' (Candice Fox).

Will Slater – one of the most violent and effective operatives in Black Force history – finds himself in California, drinking, partying and trying to forget about the horrific deeds he’s performed for his country. Then one morning, a stranger kicks down his motel door.

Sent by Black Force, the man details Slater’s newest assignment – head to Silicon Valley, locate a private VIP club, and befriend the Sinaloa cartel’s chief interrogator, known only by his nickname: The Wicked.

What starts as a simple plan to extract information descends into anarchy as Slater struggles to maintain his cover under the influence of enough drink and drugs to kill lesser men.

Sometimes, it pays to have a tolerance.
