THE MONEY FIELDSAn Agent Conway ThrillerHigh in Bolivia's Chapare Valley, where subsistence farmers have grown coca for medicine and tradition since before the Inca, a government promise and a criminal fortune are about to collide.When La Paz announces a sweeping coca eradication program, Colombian narco-financier Rafael Ordo?o Vega sees something the politicians don't: a window. His organization, La Hermandad del Tr?pico, moves fast and quiet - buying land, coercing growers, and building a fortified stronghold deep inside Bolivian territory before the government can act. All it costs is a burned harvest here, a broken family there. All it takes is one compromised minister willing to look away.CIA officer Conway Booth is sent in under diplomatic cover to stop it - officially advising, unofficially running out of time. He inherits a shrinking window, a Bolivian general who trusts almost no one, and a five-person team that will need to out-negotiate a corrupt ministry as often as they out-fight a professional paramilitary force. Among them: a drone specialist whose own family cleared the very hillsides now caught in the crossfire, and a journalist whose reporting might expose the conspiracy - or get someone killed before the truth ever reaches print.As the cartel's patience runs out and the body count creeps closer to the people who trusted the mission most, Conway and his team have one shot to drive the invaders back across the border - before an entire valley pays the price for a fortune measured in leaves, land, and blood.From the acclaimed author of Silent Ballot comes a new chapter in the Agent Conway series - a story of loyalty tested, institutions exposed, and the true cost of the fields where money grows.
