In the murky world of organized crime, drug cartels, and terrorist organizations, a covert US government organization operates in the shadows. Known only as "Operation Deep Cross," their mission is to eliminate high-valued assets that operate with impunity inside the United States. They generate a "Dead Code" - an encrypted message that is sent to "dark contract assassins" who carry out the hits. One such assassin, known only as "Red Snake," is their top contractor. When Operation Deep Cross receives intelligence that the head of a terrorist organization, Al-Nusra Front, is planning to target infrastructure somewhere in the United States, Red Snake is sent a Dead Code to carry out the hit. Working under the name Dustin Salazar, Red Snake starts to leverage his extensive information network in the Middle East to track down the head of Al-Nusra Front and execute him. Once Red Snake successfully completes the hit, he sends a completed code back to "Deep Cross." However, Red Snake's work is far from over. Operation Deep Cross issues him a second Dead Code - to take out one of their own contractors, who has been compromised and goes by the code name "Black Rabbit." The problem is that no one knows Black Rabbit's real name or where he resides. Red Snake must find out who Black Rabbit is and where he lives before time runs out. As Red Snake delves deeper into his investigation, he discovers that Black Rabbit has been hired to kill him. The two assassins engage in a deadly game of cat and mouse as they try to track each other down. With many twists and turns along the way, they eventually come face-to-face. In a thrilling climax, Red Snake emerges victorious and kills Black Rabbit. Throughout this action-packed thriller, readers will be on edge as they follow Red Snake's journey through the dangerous world of covert operations.
