Josh Mendosa has never misplaced anything—especially not five kilos of uncut cocaine worth a small fortune and one innocent life. Trusted by the ruthless Mendosa Cartel for his icy precision, Josh boards a routine flight from Bogotá to Miami certain everything is under control. One careless moment at baggage claim shatters that illusion.
Lynn Ortiz, an overworked marketing executive, grabs the wrong hard-shell suitcase and heads for the exit, unaware she’s just placed herself in the crosshairs of a criminal empire. Customs detain Josh, the cartel’s timer starts ticking, and the price of failure is the slow death of everyone he loves.
With six hours to find Lynn, recover the drugs, and outrun the DEA agents now shadowing his every move, Josh plunges into a nightmarish chase through Miami’s neon veins. Lynn’s only hope of surviving is to trust the gun-wielding stranger who broke into her hotel room—yet every new secret Josh reveals makes escape feel more impossible.
As midnight looms, loyalty cracks, and the line between rescuer and executioner blurs. Josh must decide which is deadlier: defying the cartel he calls family, or sacrificing a woman who became collateral damage in a single, fateful swap.
Swapped is a lightning-charged thriller for fans of Don Winslow and Taylor Adams, a breakneck race against time that grips from the first page to its heart-stopping finale.
