β¦ Synopsis
"The tenth unforgettable novel in the legendary crime series. It's a bitter, cold night in Atlanta. Ex-cop Jim Hardman walks in on a convenience store robbery committed by a young woman and two men that leaves an innocent clerk dead. It's an ugly experience Hardman can't shake...and it gets worse when the parents of the female felon want to hire him to find their fugitive daughter before the cops do. Hardman wants nothing to do with the job. But his sometime partner Hump Evans is bored and short on cash...and takes the case. Soon Hump is pursued by a chain-wielding gang of racist bikers and mired in a seedy underworld of drugs, prostitution, and senseless violence that even the tough, ex-NFL player can't handle alone..."--Back cover.
