The streets don't always leave you.For years, Marcus has lived behind a carefully constructed lie. To the world, he's a celebrated professional golfer, successful businessman, husband, and father.To the people who knew him before the money, he's something else.The Second Man.The man standing beside Javier "Gonzo" Gonzalez-the ruthless kingpin whose empire reaches across borders and whose enemies are willing to kill to bring him down.Marcus thought he had finally escaped that world.Then the phone rang.Now his wife, Denise, knows the truth.
