Summary

Ed Calderon went from a young punk (his own words) to part of one of the most effective police forces ever in Baja and Mexico. Ed’s group was so effective in going after the cartel and getting rid of corrupt cops, they had to be stopped by their own government. When given the choice of staying and aligning with the cartel and putting his life and family at risk, Ed fled to America with only what he could carry. This is a story of sacrifice, perseverance, and defiance in truly the most dangerous game of all.
