Under Siege (novel)

The cartel throws everything they have to avenge him, including portable anti-air missiles, snipers, bomb trucks, and suicide squads armed with sub-machine guns.

Grafton is now member of joint service team that plan military aid for anti-drug campaigns.

He is assigned to a local National Guard unit to battle the cartel, right in Washington DC.

Washington DC's population, fed up with drugs, rally and lynch hundreds of addicts.

Kirkus Reviews found the novel to be "pessimistic", with an "implausible end", and noted that Coonts' characters are "more comfortable and convincing in the air than in the streets of Washington and the corridors of power".
