Ex-undercover cop Marshall Grade is hiding out in California when he learns that the federal agent who was his ticket into witness protection has survived a kidnapping. The captors had a simple question: where is Marshall Grade?
Marshall's undercover work has left him with a long list of enemies, and the enemy in this case is a corrupt businessman named Dexter Vine. But what has Marshall done to make Dexter want him dead? And are the contacts from his old life prepared to help him, or will they just sell him out?
This explosive thriller from the author of the bestselling American Blood is an electrifying ride through the darkened backstreets of America, where old scores are never really settled and you never know who you can trust.
