The second pulse-pounding thriller featuring Max Strong.
Max is a wanted man. Again. Only this time he's innocent. Mostly.
Refusing to be the fall guy, he fled Essex, witness protection, and some sticky questions about dead bodies and a missing suitcase. Now, he's a fugitive just trying to piece together a life in the margins.
Mr. Smith is a man that specializes in discretely taking care of problems. Kate Sanders is a PI that's going broke and trying to get her dead father's voice out of her head. Alexei Yushkin is still alive but walks with a limp and carries a deep grudge. Mike Duffy is a small town reporter in danger of cracking a case too wide open.
Carter is just a psycho. Danny is the idiot that crossed Carter.
They all want to find Max.
After a brutal beating reopens old wounds in Essex, the pressure mounts for Max to stop hiding and come back.
Nobody can run forever.
