Paperback. Hunter Davisson is an ex-Navy SEAL whose life is defined by what he once was-former member of the world's most elite fighting force, former friend, former father, and former husband. His life is now consumed by demons that haunt him, alcohol that ravages his body, and scratching out a living on the streets of Washington, DC. But his life hasn't hit rock bottom-yet. Hunter arrives at a mysterious rendezvous with the deputy director of national intelligence, a former SEAL buddy who married his ex-wife, only to find him murdered. All evidence points to Hunter as the disgruntled ex-husband. Now he must avoid arrest long enough to clear his name and uncover the conspiracy that the deputy director was investigating before his death.
