| Chapin, South Carolina –
Charlie Minto’s Pyramid Scheme is the new novel by Air Force veteran Les Carroll, author of the autobiographical novel This Troubled Ground.
When Charlie Minto’s sister is murdered by a cartel-connected gang, the retired Marine Corps sniper and recent law school graduate assembles a team of like-minded warriors to avenge her death. Haunted by the possibility that his sister’s killers might never be caught and punished, Charlie goes all-in with the high-risk vigilante justice. He wrestles with his own moral compass, and the future security of his surviving loved ones. To further complicate his life, Charlie is shockingly approached by the woman responsible for the death of his parents, who needs his help with a high-profile, against-all-odds lawsuit.
Charlie Minto’s Pyramid Scheme takes place in the border cities of El Paso, Texas and Juarez, Mexico.
