His last challenge: live long enough to save the lives of those he
loves.
Cold-blooded killer JimBone Wheeler blames Tom McMurtrie for putting him
on death row. He once vowed that he'd bring "a reckoning" on Tom and
everyone the southern lawyer holds dear. When Wheeler escapes from
prison, he aims to fulfill his promise. Victim by victim, he's getting
closer to his ultimate target. But for Tom, who's dying of cancer, the
role of savior and protector is a struggle that is becoming more
desperate by the hour.
As the body count mounts, Tom, his partner, Rick Drake, and his best
friend, Bocephus Haynes, brace for a confrontation like nothing they
have ever faced before. This battle will be waged not in a courthouse
but on the streets and fields of north Alabama. With all those he loves
at risk, Tom must save his family, his friends, and his legacy from a
killer whose hunger for retribution knows no bounds.
Now, as time ticks down and fate and vengeance close in, who will
survive Wheeler's final reckoning?
