Joe Hunter uses the skills he perfected with the CIA and in Special Ops to solve problems. But his sojourn in Florida is recreational . . . until a beautiful, desperate woman walks into his life. Kate Piers wants Hunter to help her find her missing sister. But there are several things Hunter doesn’t know . . . Like the fact that the sister crossed a very bad man—a millionaire sadist who likes doing the wetwork himself. Or that the maniac has serious connections to the underworld . . . and runs a private army with enough firepower to blow a gaping hole through the heart of Texas. When a violent encounter with a pair of twin killers in the Kentucky hills results in Kate’s capture, Hunter realizes there’ll be no backing down, no matter how badly the odds are stacked against him.
