The maestro of pulse-pounding suspense delivers an explosive new white-knuckle thriller featuring deputy U.S. Marshal Tim Rackley -- a lawman driven by honor， morality， and a thirst for justice. The leader of one of the country s most violent biker gangs， Den Laurey should have been behind bars. But thanks to a daring escape on an L.A. freeway， several deputy marshals are dead and Laurey is riding free. Rackley， back on the Service s warrant squad， is in hot pursuit of the outlaw and his ruthless gang -- with a media whirlwind and the entire Los Angeles law-enforcement community driving him. Just when Laurey is within his grasp， circumstances force Rackley to let him go -- with devastating results. A few miles up the road， a sheriff s deputy is attacked: Tim s pregnant wife， Dray. Driven by guilt， Tim vows to hunt Laurey down -- a search that will lead him into a dark world of deception and lies， a world of criminals and undercover cops， drugs and mutilation. And the key to the violent puzzle lies in the discarded corpses of women -- women for whom Tim must seek justice when no one else will. With the stakes rising， Tim must unravel a horrifying secret and confront a deadly terror that reaches from the back alleys of Mexico to the poppy fields of Afghanistan ... and threatens to explode on the dark streets of L.A.
