Roland Ford
is a P.I. living on a small ranch just outside San Diego. He is still mourning the death of his wife
when a friend, Lindsay Rakes hires him to protect her from a death threat. Lindsay is a former Air Force drone operator
who was stationed near Las Vegas. Even
though her attacks on ISIS took place thousands of miles from the battlefield,
her PTSD symptoms are just as real as the soldiers who fought hand-to-hand
combat on foreign soil.
Roland puts her
up in one of his guest cottages at the ranch and enlists the aid of FBI agent
Joan Taucher. Joan specializes in
domestic terrorism and respects Roland enough to allow him to participate in
the hunt. While searching for the
perpetrator, two of Lindsay’s former crew members are brutally beheaded. Roland thinks he has identified the suspect
but now is facing the challenge of his life.
How can he bring the bad guy out in the open, keep the FBI on his team
and protect Lindsay, all at the same time?

Parker has developed a great new protagonist in Roland Ford. A tough guy with as many vulnerabilities as
investigative skills, Roland maintains his high moral code in hunting down the
bad guys… great entertainment. T.
Jefferson Parker may be working his way back onto my list of top ten authors.
