The Talon Gambit (Paperback or Softback)

In this a pulse-pounding heist thriller from USA Today bestselling author Jason Kasper, the Sky Thieves must infiltrate the Sinaloa Cartel's U.S. operations and blackmail an untraceable shadow boss—before a $3.6 million bounty catches up with them.

The most dangerous heists aren't for money. They're for survival.

After a flawless heist turns into a brutal ambush, Blair Morgan and her crew discover they've made a fatal enemy: the Sinaloa Cartel. Their crime? Robbing a nightclub casino in New Orleans without realizing it was protected by the most ruthless criminal organization on the continent. Now there's a $3.6 million bounty on their heads—and it didn't come from Mexico. It came from a powerful American cartel figure the DEA knows only as Talon.

To save themselves, the Sky Thieves must do the impossible: infiltrate the organization's U.S. operations, uncover Talon's identity, and find a way to blackmail a ghost. Their search pulls them deep into the underworld's hidden infrastructure—from classified DEA intel to cartel-financed luxury brokers to the underground meeting rooms where real power hides. When they finally pinpoint Talon's next move at a secretive gala in one of the South's most exclusive towns, the crew must break into a fortress of wealth and silence.

But inside the estate, nothing is as it seems, and the truth behind Talon will shatter everything they thought they knew. Can a crew of professional thieves outmaneuver a cartel shadow boss who's never been caught?
