'Tango Down - White Powder on Tap' is a gripping crime thriller that is unimaginable, unpredictable and intriguing beyond comprehension. It all begins with one dramatic life changing event for Jack Murdoch - being arrested for trying to smuggle over a kilo of cocaine into Bangkok. Jack has to quickly deal with the reality of spending the rest of his life in jail or facing the death penalty handed down by Thailand’s infamous hanging judge.
Being caught with cocaine in his possession during a random drug search at the airport was obviously a set-up to gain access to Jack. Faced with only one option for survival and one chance to get out of his four meter by two meter cell; Jack is forced to accept the offer presented to him by two CIA recruiting agents. By doing so, Jack has just entered into the dangerous and unspoken world of international espionage, cyber warfare, drug smuggling, illegal weapons dealing and corporate corruption.
As a part of the deal, Jack is flown to the United States where he begins living a double life as an FBI informant spying on the world's biggest arms dealer, Radov Nicic, who also happens to be one of his closest friends. Jack did not know what he was signing up for, but once in, there was no getting out. If he betrays the CIA, he will be immediately sent back to Bangkok to face the death penalty. Or even worse, spend the rest of his life in a dark, small prison cell surrounded by violent, psychopathic and disease ridden inmates.
This mix of power, drugs, violence, greed, corporate corruption, and deep-seeded hatred for the USA collides when an entwined network of individuals and groups with their own agenda explodes when least expected. What happens next flies under the radar of the average citizen going about their daily life. What eventuates is a series of unexpected twists and turns that puts everyone's life in danger. How it all unravels and ends leaves even the most highly trained and experienced US intelligence agents struggling to make sense of what is the greatest threat to America's national security since 2001.
What you will find from 'Tango Down - White Powder on Tap’ is a masterful and exhilarating exploration of bravery and betrayal by the most unlikely of heroes.
