Description

Danny Pearson thought the danger was behind him. A trip to Brazil with his fiancée Nikki and best friend Scott Miller was supposed to be sunshine, cold beers, and a fresh start. Then three men walked into their hotel and took Scott at gunpoint.

Balthasar Delgado - known in the criminal underworld as El Diablo - is the most powerful drug lord in Colombia. For decades he has run cocaine across the Americas, bought politicians, corrupted the police, and eliminated anyone who stood in his way. Now he wants something money alone can't buy: the presidency of Colombia. And he's kidnapped one of the world's most gifted computer experts to hack the national election and deliver it.

With no weapons, no backup, and no authority in a foreign country, Danny must track Scott from the streets of Rio de Janeiro to the Colombian capital Bogotá and deep into the mountain jungle of the Sierra Nevada. Along the way he'll fight cartel soldiers, outrun Delgado's surveillance network, and forge unlikely alliances with a DEA agent, a local resistance fighter, and the very people Delgado has spent a lifetime terrorising.

But Delgado's fortified estate in the Pico mountains is a narco fortress protected by an army of loyal soldiers, and the clock is ticking down to election day. To save Scott and stop a stolen presidency, Danny will have to launch a one-man assault into the heart of a cartel empire - and fight his way back out alive.

Leave Nothing to Chance is the ninth instalment in the internationally bestselling Danny Pearson series. A white-knuckle rescue thriller set against the stunning and deadly backdrop of South America, with relentless action, a ticking-clock plot, and stakes that couldn't be higher.

Perfect for fans of Andy McNab, Chris Ryan, Mark Dawson, and Tom Clancy.
