Produktbeschreibung

US Marshal Charlie Harlow has stood in front of hundreds of doors without knowing who, or what, is behind them... When a botched assignment leaves a friend from the Buncombe County sheriff's office dead, Charlie finds himself under the Justice Department's scrutiny for the way things fell apart. Overwhelmed with guilt for failing to save his friend, Charlie knows the only thing he can do is keep doing the job he loves. At least while he still can. Bringing another fugitive to justice sounds just like what the doctor ordered. All he has to do is track down a sixty-something year old convict allegedly hiding out on his girlfriend's farm. But things take a turn in the wrong direction when the deputy with Charlie, Kim Riggins, is taken hostage. And when the convict's girlfriend steps in the way to prevent Charlie from stopping the fugitive's escape, all he can do is watch as Deputy Riggins disappears under gunpoint. The game of cat and mouse soon turns deadly. And Charlie must apprehend those responsible before the person he cares most about pays the price for his relentless pursuit of justice...

Autorenporträt

Gregory has written over twenty-three books, and is the author of four mystery and crime fiction series, including the Henry Walsh Private Investigator series, the US Marshal Charlie Harlow series, the Joe Sheldon crime series, and the new Jake Horn mysteries. His standalone crime novels include Drag the Man Down, Half Cocked, Danny Womack's .38, Biscayne Boogie, and a number of published short stories.He won his first award as a writer at ten years old, after sending a story to the Providence Journal about his pet husky being shot by a local farmer. The writing most likely wasn't very good, but the fact a young boy's dog was shot (true story!) tugged at the editor's heart strings just enough.His dog, luckily, survived.But that wasn't a paid gig, so years later he ended up in advertising. He eventually became a copywriter, specializing in direct mail and writing fundraising letters to help raise money for animals and children.The first book he wrote was nonfiction, but he quickly realized he wasn't smart enough to be giving anyone advice. He finally decided making up lies for a living would be much more fun.Somehow, he became an author.Raised in Providence, Rhode Island, Gregory lives with his wife, kids, and his dog, Jake, in North Carolina.
