**RETIREMENT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SIMPLE. THEN A KID WENT MISSING.**

Horace Chase thought he'd left the violence behind when he moved to Hilton Head Island. A quiet beach house. His first dog. Maybe even a fresh start. But on his first day in paradise, his new neighbor points a gun at him -- and things only get worse from there.

When gunshots shatter the night and a boy is kidnapped from the dock behind his house, Chase faces an impossible choice: walk away from the chaos he swore to leave behind, or do what he does best -- hunt those who prey on the innocent.

**From NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Bob Mayer comes the second explosive thriller in the Horace Chase series.**

The kidnappers picked the wrong island. Chase is a former Green Beret with a particular set of skills honed in the world's most dangerous places. Now he's on home turf -- or at least, what might become home if he survives his first week.

But Hilton Head's gated communities hide darker secrets than million-dollar mansions and golf courses. Between corrupt security forces, Russian mobsters carving out territory, and a powerful local elite who answer to no one, Chase discovers this island operates by its own rules. And none of those rules include protecting a missing child.

With the clock ticking and a mother desperate for answers, Chase must navigate a web of corruption, violence, and old grudges while battling the demons of his own past. He'll need to call in every favor, trust unlikely allies, and prove that sometimes the most dangerous weapon isn't the one you carry -- it's knowing when to use it.
