The President of the United States intends to put a stop to some of the worst criminal activity on American soil-drugs, prostitution, and murder. He enlists the help of the specialized DIA agency, dedicated to solving some of America’s toughest problems. Under the direction of Admiral Alton Baker, the thirteen agents-called the Baker’s Dozen-are charged with the task of attacking crime on all fronts.Among them is Special Agent Jim Thompson. During an assignment, he and others pose as insurance fraud investigators to find a possible connection between the unexplained deaths of a number of the country’s small business owners. The agents eventually discover that all of the deaths are linked to Al Gotto, a top dog drug dealer in the Mafi a who operates out of New Jersey. The agents surmise that the businessmen were killed using an unidentifiable poison.After further investigation, the DIA learns that the poison is made from a unique fruit grown on a remote island in the Pacific owned by eccentric billionaire Chester Upchurch. Will Thompson and his DIA cohorts be able to stop the indiscriminate use of the poison on American citizens?
