Follow the story of Hunt, an ex-convict of 20 years with troubles that have been nurtured by his loving wife and a life caring for magnificent horses. But caring for such sturdy beasts costs money; the amount of money not always easy to find. To gain enough money quickly involves risks.

Meet Drake, the local sheriff whose father was also a sheriff until imprisoned after he got caught up in drug smuggling. Drake’s out on a mission to stop the drug smuggling practice in the mountains and somehow make up for his father’s indiscretions; unwittingly trying to purge himself of the hollow, shameful feelings he carries around as a result. He’s onto Hunt, but his initial failed stake out leads to a chain of enthralling events as the drug dealers want what’s theirs…

I’ve no doubt that Waite will become a bestselling author. His debut novel is fast, rich in suspense, and enjoyably gruesome as it follows the fall out of a drugs run gone bad. Whilst some good people do bad things, there are bad people who relish doing bad things. This book contains both types of characters, giving it a meaty, textured story with plenty of bite. Dive in and enjoy.
