In the dangerous world of drug cartels, no one knows who to trust. Jose Sotelo is the head of the Sotelo Cartel, the top traffickers of heroin to the United States. But when he suspects an informant in his organization, he orders his hitmen, Tolomeo Lopez and Quintilo Melendez, to find and make an example of them.

Spiro Cortez, a deep cover agent for the International Organized Drug Enforcement Unit, has been working undercover for five years within the cartel. He has risen through the ranks to become a lieutenant and is dating Jose's daughter, Yamila. However, when he learns that Jose is looking for an informant, Spiro fears for his life and decides to take drastic action. He sets up Jose's driver, Cesareo Alvarado, as the informant and has him executed.

Angela Brown, Spiro's handler from the I.O.D.E., discovers that he had Cesareo murdered and realizes that he may have turned against them. She sends in a dark agent, John Ruble, to kill him. However, Yamila sets John up, and Spiro ends up executing him himself after discovering that Angela hired him.

Spiro realizes that Angela is the only person who knows his true identity and decides to take her out. In a final confrontation, Yamila reveals that she was actually Angela's informant all along and that she cannot let her father know. She kills both Angela and Spiro and walks away silently, leaving behind a trail of betrayal and bloodshed.

The Sotelo Cartel is a thrilling tale of suspense set in the dangerous world of drug trafficking. With its twists and turns, it keeps readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
