His punishment: two days in jail for every year of his probation. But for one friend of the victimâ€™s familyâ€”an ex-marine named Darryl Potterâ€”this punishment isnâ€™t enough. Potter sets out to even the score by kidnapping Bensonâ€™s twenty-year-old daughter. Itâ€™s a bad, bad plan, and only Mike Barlowe, Potterâ€™s former combat buddy, knows how to stop it. With a beautiful news reporter, the cops, and a bounty hunter on Potterâ€™s tail, Barlowe races to head off his troubled friend before innocent people get hurt. The hunters and the hunted plunge north into Minnesotaâ€™s Lake Country, each with their own ambitions and demons, each headed for a violent collisionâ€”and for one horrifying moment of life or death.,â€œAs long as there are writers like Sean Doolittle out there, American crime fiction has got a sterling future ahead of it.â€â€”Dennis Lehane,â€œWithÂ ,
