THIS IS A PAPERBACK EDITION FOR THE EXPORT MARKET.
When law enforcement, the courts, and the prison system fail, there is a fourth and final option. #1 New York Times bestselling author Jack Carr launches a new thriller series.
Disillusioned by the government and institutions he dedicated his life to serving, former Navy SEAL and CIA ground branch operative Chris Walker is about to end his life when he receives a call that saves it. The wife of a teammate he lost in Afghanistan has now lost her son to the opioid crisis and needs Walker’s help. Thrust into a conspiracy that goes deeper than he ever imagined, Walker must go up against the system and the very Constitution he once swore an oath to support and defend in order to find justice for his friend’s widow.
With ambitious FBI agent Jarrett Stanton on his tail, Walker—accompanied by his loyal Belgian Malinois and using his off-the-grid VW pop-up camper filled with a hidden cache of weapons—takes the law into his own hands, exposing corruption and issuing a long-forgotten brand of lethal outlaw justice.
In the tradition of the great “stranger comes to town” Westerns of the past comes a modern interpretation of the mysterious vigilante gunslinger legend from “the hottest author on the thriller scene today” (The Real Book Spy). Get ready for a new kind of hero. Justice is coming.
New Orleans corruption meets vigilante justice!
"Chris Walker is a tortured man, haunted by the death of his buddy, John Staub, in Afghanistan. He has been drifting around the Northwest in his VW camper van, contemplating his life. And he doesn’t like how it is going. He gets a call from his buddy's widow with the bad news that John's son has died, and she needs Chris to find out who is responsible. Connor was investigating a big story and, in the process, whacked a hornet's nest. New Orleans has a bad reputation for corruption. Leigh Ann doesn’t know who she can trust except for her late husband's old friend. Chris is a former Navy SEAL and CIA branch operator. He has a lethal skill set that he isn't afraid to use. Chris is a unique character in that he is a highly trained operator for whom violence is second nature, but is a student of philosophy. It makes for an intriguingly complex hero. This story is a fast-paced and engrossing thriller. The bad guys are dealt with extreme prejudice. Chris and his dog, Paladin, will have to fight for their lives. Although their opponents are ruthless killers, they don't know they have met their match. When all else fails, the fourth option is the only one left. For readers who enjoy Lee Child's Jack Reacher and Jack Carr’s other thriller series, The Terminal List. Thank you to Simon & Schuster Canada and NetGalley for access to an advanced reader copy."
