Hunt, an ex-convict, has spent the past twenty years on a small ranch with his wife, supplementing his income with the odd drug smuggling job. Drake, a deputy sheriff, is newly married and has almost escaped the shadow of his father, who was also a sheriff -- and no stranger to the drug trade himself...

Drake is on Hunt's trail when a big drug deal in the mountains goes awry and so begins a terrifying race against time. Although Hunt evades Drake's attempts at capture the traffickers soon unleash a merciless hired killer to reclaim what's theirs. As the chase closes in and loyalties are tested, Drake's quest for justice contends with a hitman's quest for blood, and Hunt must face a terrible choice...

Passed onto my parents. The author has a family surname but as far as we know, is not related!

Spotted in the book exchange phone box at Marton le Moor this afternoon on the way back from a trip to Pateley Bridge. I wondered about taking it but I have so many books to read (and did take 3 others... although I left two!) I decided to leave it be. But whenever I see a bookcrossing book I do like to stop and say it has been spotted.

I haven't really released this as I just left it where it was but putting this in so it will appear on the hunting pages.
