Alex Lockerby’s life has slowed down a bit since the state of New York issued a warrant for his arrest. The good news is that being on the lam free’s him up to take the cases he wants — or so he thought.

It turns out that when the government comes calling it’s more of a command performance, and Alex finds himself investigating a series or bizarre poisonings in cattle country. Not to be outdone, Captain Callahan of the Manhattan Police offers to clear Alex’s name if he comes back to New York to investigate a series of horrific murders that have the city terrified.

When Alex starts to investigate in New York, he wonders if he should have stayed gone.

Now Alex has to serve two demanding masters as he navigates the twists and turns of two diabolical cases — and two killers who are willing to eliminate anyone who gets in their way.
