The Caracas Asset: Operation Absolute Resolve — Paperback

Description

When CIA officer Elena Vásquez arrives in Caracas undercover as a petroleum consultant, she believes she’s fighting for democracy. Her mission: recruit assets inside Maduro’s regime and gather intelligence for a long-awaited liberation. She finds CARDINAL—a desperate mid-level officer trading secrets for a chance to save his dying daughter. She promises him safety. She promises him the fifty-million-dollar bounty. She believes every word.
Then the bombs fall. Operation Absolute Resolve succeeds—Maduro is captured. But Elena discovers the invasion wasn’t about freedom; it was about three hundred billion barrels of oil. The legal justification was a lie. The new president was pre-negotiated. And CARDINAL has been left to die in a DGCIM prison.
Now a fugitive from both the regime and her own agency, Elena must break CARDINAL out of a fortified facility, cross a country in chaos, and expose the truth before the machine silences them both. From the smoking streets of Caracas to a cold mountain border run, The Caracas Asset is a blistering thriller about betrayal, conscience, and the cost of telling the truth when the world has already decided what it wants to believe.
