Synopsis

The third action-packed thriller in the compelling series featuring Joe Hunter, rival to Lee Child's Jack Reacher.

Joe Hunter is enjoying some much needed r&r when a young woman approaches him to help find her missing sister. Kate Piers knows about Joe from her dead brother Jake, Hunter's former comrade in arms, and for that reason alone he feels obliged to help. The fact that Kate is very attractive doesn't hurt.



Together they go to Imogen's Kentucky home where they are immediately attacked by a bunch of thugs, acting on behalf of local businessman Robert Huffman. Huffman is outwardly respectable but the psychotic twins he uses as his enforcers give the game away: he has links to organised crime and a deadly reputation with a blade. Huffman is also looking for Imogen, and kidnaps Kate to act as bait. Looks like Joe is in trouble again . . .

From the Back Cover

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. There’s a debt to be repaid and vengeance to be had . . . and when his scorched earth campaign is over, there won’t be anything left to burn.
