Cross Your Heart and Hope to Die

Hundreds of deaths have been attributed to a heart-shaped pill, White Hearts, the newest and deadliest form of the designer drug Ecstasy. To combat the threat, the newly-elected president of the United States authorizes a special task force under the direction of his Drug Czar, General Mitchell O'Toole, to locate the drug's source. Although the physical injuries he suffered during a blown mission in Colombia three years earlier had long since healed, former undercover DEA agent Jack Keller still wasn't fully recovered from the psychological trauma of the incident. However, when a helicopter lands in the compound of the Idaho fishing lodge where he lives and O'Toole steps out, he suspects that his days of self-imposed retirement may have temporarily come to an end. Despite having only two clues with which to work -- a three-year-old letter found buried in DEA files and a mysterious reporter known only as Ziggy who knows more about the drug than the DEA -- Jack begins looking into the late-night dance scene where the drug thrives.
