The Growling Cat Ranch

Cody Hunter patrolled the Mexico border by horseback in Southern Arizona's expansive desert. He was ambushed and flown to a dangerous drug cartel near Bogota. While being held prisoner, he heard big cats caged nearby and dubbed the headquarters "The Growling Cat Ranch."

This cartel entertained its friends in high places and neighboring drug lords by feeding the cats live human beings, preferably US law enforcement officers.

Cody, having never piloted an airplane, escaped certain death by stealing one but crashed into the forest. He eluded his hunters and found refuge at the DEA station in Bogota.

The cartel kidnapped his wife in Tucson, then she too was destined for the jaguar cages. He rescued her singlehandedly against incredible odds.

Having proven himself as a fighter and expert marksman, Cody is inducted into a secret organization that evens the playing field when justice is obstructed by power and rules that prevent convictions.
