Inspired by the events of his 2022 award-winning book, Captured by COVID: Deceit, Conspiracy, and Death—A True Story. Michael E. Bowers’s Olivia is a story of adoration, hatred, desolation, exhilaration, and heartbreak. Caught between two forces far beyond her control, Olivia’s quiet life is shattered when she becomes collateral damage in a deadly clash between the DEA and a ruthless Mexican cartel. As her world unravels, those around her spiral into darkness—none more than Allen, whose descent into unthinkable acts reveals a side no one ever imagined he possessed.
