Publisher's Synopsis
When a particularly deadly strain of organized crime attacks the Southeast Asian communities of Los Angeles, a multi-agency task force is assembled. Old-timer 'Gunner' Morgan, a retired army sniper and a surly man reputed to be an outspoken loner, is assigned the task of protecting Sara, a key witness who has been targeted for death by both sides of the investigation. FBI Agent Dennis Anderson is intent on destroying not only the Binh crime family, but government officials he suspects of corruption and collusion. Deputy Attorney General Lang takes over the controls and announces his focus: to destroy the Binh family and their drug-based operation. Politically motivated, however, he becomes a secret ally of Binh, a former South Vietnam military officer, and they make a trade: hands-off policing in exchange for Asian votes. When Binh's nephew decides to overrule his powerful uncle and expand the family business, the stakes for survival become even higher..for everyone. Frank Rocha's The Scope of Death is guaranteed to keep readers turning the pages, right to the powerful conclusion.
