Some men retire from war, Jim Hammer just changed battlefields.
After twenty years in Army Special Operations, Jim Hammer thought he'd come home to Logan County, Montana, leaving the blood and betrayal behind. But when a friend is gunned down on a hunting trip by thugs operating under the protection of federal law enforcement, he can't turn his back. It's like war has followed him home.
On the opening day of antelope season, the county becomes ground zero in a battle between Hammer's old friends and powerful and mysterious Sunrise Land Holdings, a shadowy outfit with deep pockets and deeper secrets. This powerful and mysterious organization has established itself on a remote slice of land, once open to local hunters. When the ATF muscles out the local sheriff, Hammer smells corruption...and starts digging.
With the help of Lauren Stahling-the tough, resourceful county assessor from Hammer's complicated past-and a few loyal allies from his former life, Hammer peels back the layers of a conspiracy that stretches from Montana's remote rangeland to McLean, Virginia, all the way to a former CIA black site outside Washington, D.C. At its core: Hambledon Global Advocacy Group, a counterfeit NGO masking a sex trafficking cartel protected by high-ranking federal agents and a powerful U.S. Senator. When the rules are written by monsters, justice demands a hunter willing to go off the books. This hunter is Jim Hammer
With blood spilled on both sides and innocent lives at stake, Hammer is headed for a showdown in the heart of darkness. When the mastermind-playboy sheikh and human trafficker Hamad bin-Sharia-arrives on U.S. soil, Hammer will have one shot to end it all.
