From the author whose last book Lee Child said was "The best thing I've read in a long time." The acclaimed novelist of Safer returns with a mesmerizing story of tragedy, revenge, and redemption. When Wade Benson fell asleep at the wheel, his life was changed forever, and the young life of Becky Morse was ended. Five years later, his reckoning for his entire family has come in the form of two veterans in a story taut as piano wire.
SOME CRIMES HAVE NO PUNISHMENT.
SOME BATTLES NEVER END.
Five years ago, successful architect Wade Benson killed a young woman when he fell asleep at the wheel. His punishment: two days in jail for every year of his probation. But for one friend of the victim’s family—an ex-marine named Darryl Potter—this punishment isn’t enough. Potter sets out to even the score by kidnapping Benson’s twenty-year-old daughter. It’s a bad, bad plan, and only Mike Barlowe, Potter’s former combat buddy, knows how to stop it. With a beautiful news reporter, the cops, and a bounty hunter on Potter’s tail, Barlowe races to head off his troubled friend before innocent people get hurt. The hunters and the hunted plunge north into Minnesota’s Lake Country, each with their own ambitions and demons, each headed for a violent collision—and for one horrifying moment of life or death.
