CASE DAY ONE

In CASE DAY ONE, Judson Munro, former FBI Agent and current corporate crisis negotiator responds to explosive devices planted in the giant RayChem chemical plant in the notional town of Pine Tree, Texas. During the deactivation procedures a bomb explodes killing a FBI bomb tech and friend of Munro. Unknown to Munro, the main actor of the extortion group holds a grudge against Munro. He uses Munro's family to coerce the ex-agent to out wit the FBI at the drop site and obtain his ten million dollar demand. Motivated by revenge and justice, Munro tracks down one of the gang in the Chiricahua mountains and in the confrontation with him nearly loses his life. With his money laundering experiences in kidnapping cases, Munro follows the main actor to Panama, then back to his base in North Carolina. In an old west denouement Munro goes face to face, weapon to weapon, with the man who killed his friend.
