______________________________________________

In a daring nighttime raid, a notorious Venezuelan terrorist is liberated from a remote Agency compound hidden deep within the heart of the Brazilian Amazon, reigniting a centuries-old territorial dispute involving Venezuela, Guyana and unimaginable power and riches.

At the urgent request of the CIA, FBI Special Agent Pete Cortez is temporarily assigned to the FBI’s Legal Attaché office in the U.S. Embassy in Brasilia, where he and Agency officer Clarice Robideaux are given the task of finding out not only who freed the Venezuelan, but more importantly, why.

As Cortez and Robideaux follow the spidery tentacles of an intricate conspiracy with a global reach, their investigation leads them through a dizzying array of military, political, intelligence, law enforcement, and business interests, few of whom are really what they seem.

THE VENEZUELAN is the third book in the Pete Cortez FBI Thriller series.
