At the heart of Stephen Hunter's riveting new novel is a 40-year-old crime that has just resurfaced.
Bob Swagger, the enormously popular character first introduced in Point of Impact, is back--and this time he is both the hunter and the hunted as he tries to uncover the searing secrets of his long-dead father's murder.
Only one thing stands between a son and his father's killer: forty years of lies.
On a remote Arizona ranch, a man who has known loss, fear, and war weeps for the first time since he was a child.
His tears are for the father taken from him four decades before in a deadly shoot-out.
And his grief will lead him back to the place where he was born, where his father died, and where a brutal conspiracy is about to explode.
For Bob Lee Swagger, the world changed on that hot day in Blue Eye, Arkansas, when two local boys rode armed and wild in a '55 Fairlane convertible.
Swagger's father, Earl, a state trooper, was investigating the brutal murder of a young woman that day.
By midnight Earl Swagger lay dead in a deserted cornfield.
Now Bob Lee wants answers.
He wants to know the truth behind the shoot -out that took his father's life, a mystery buried in forty years of lies.
Because for Bob Lee Swagger, the killing didn't end that day in Blue Eye, Arkansas.
The killing had just begun .
Weaving together characters from his national bestsellers Point of Impact and Dirty White Boys , Stephen Hunter's gripping thriller builds to an exhilarating climax--and an explosion of gunfire that blasts open the secrets of two generations.
