"Hunt has spent the past twenty years on a small ranch with his wife, supplementing his income with the odd drug smuggling job. Drake, a deputy sheriff, is newly married and has almost escaped the shadow of his father, who was also a sheriff. But when a big drug deal in the mountains goes awry Hunt evades Drake's attempts at capture, while the drug traffickers unleash a merciless hired killer to reclaim what's theirs."--Back cover.
