Real Soon Real Bad

Carter McCoy is still alive, but not for long.

A man with nothing to lose, he can help the helpless. A reluctant killer, his skills are used by the police now to balance the scales of justice. But killing doesn't sit well on Carter and he wants to live out his last days in peace.

Detective Brian DeFore is using Carter for his own gain, and almost destroys both of them. When the old man refuses to help any longer, DeFore wonders how hard it can be to kill someone who needs killing.

Then a woman asks Carter for his help to hunt a monster-her husband.

The search for justice will take him deep into the snowy woods with his faithful dog, Chester, at his side. His end is coming soon, but maybe even sooner than he thought.
