A predator is hunting. Mad Dog Cotton is the target.
A tropical paradise is about to become a killing ground.
On the sun-soaked island of St. Croix, former Denver homicide detective "Mad Dog" Cotton is trying to live in peace -- cold beer, warm water, no bodies. But peace doesn't last.
A seaplane splashes down on the calm Caribbean Sea. Onboard is Rick Hammer, Mad Dog's former partner... a man on a deadly mission. Rick didn't come to paradise for a vacation. He came for Alen Morton, an escaped serial killer with a personal vendetta -- and a single target: Mad Dog and everyone he loves.
With nowhere to run and nowhere to hide, Mad Dog knows the only way to survive is to do the unthinkable:
Become the bait.
Teaming up with a wildly unpredictable band of island misfits, Mad Dog races against time to stop a relentless killer before paradise turns into a slaughterhouse.
Fast-paced, gritty, and laced with dark humor, this is the fourth book in the St. Croix Mystery Series -- a gripping island mystery thriller packed with suspense, unforgettable characters, and a showdown you won't see coming.
