Author of the ?fast-paced? and ?explosive? (Mystery and Suspense Magazine) Rifle Season, Pat Kelly returns with an all new high-stakes and unique tale from the wild.
>
His two sons?Jovo and Milan, psycho Serb criminals of the highest order?arrive in Colorado to identify the body. But when the coroner reveals that their father was killed by a bullet, not an avalanche, the brothers realize someone got to him first. They descend on the area with one goal: to settle scores.
They've brought with them a crew of hardened Serb special operations mercenaries and an elite Russian manhunter tasked with tracking down the killer.
What unfolds is a unique and brutal game of kill-or-be-killed, played out across a bone-dry wilderness perpetually on the verge of erupting into a full-blown mega wildfire. As the hunt intensifies and the landscape grows more volatile, man and nature race toward the same inevitable explosion.
