In the first four books of this series the team is attacking one cartel, working their way up the ladder of the organization. As they do so, they need to make their attack seem like accidents so as not to alarm their prey. Along the way there are many different plot lines and relationship developments that pull the readers into intimacy with the characters. As they are conducting their operations, the backdrop of current affairs and real locations create a context that make the books seem like real life.

Hehe, it is real life (that's how I read fictional stories to give it the needed emotional outburst). And this is fantastic.
