When JJ Martin, a tough-as-nails ex-Marine Corps sniper, stumbles onto a mobile meth lab hidden on the family's grounds, he unwittingly lights the fuse on a war he can't outrun. Wounded and desperate, he sends out a coded message to the one person capable of finding him before it's too late. Armed with little more than fragments of intel and instinct, Josh Martin-FBI Special Agent and JJ's older brother-launches into the wilderness with a single objective: find his brother before the men hunting him do. At his side are the CIA's most problematic asset and a combat-trained war dog. To save JJ-and themselves-Josh's team must outmaneuver street-level predators, mob bosses with political cover, and a kill-team so efficient they've never failed a contract. High-octane, relentless, and steeped in Clancy-level tactical detail, this thriller drags you into a world where survival demands absolute precision and family isn't just worth fighting for-it's worth going to war for.
