Publisher's Synopsis
After a night of mindless violence, they threw him in a cage with the other animals.
Now, free and back on the perilous streets of Detroit, Roarke has found some semblance of a life as a man for hire. Sometimes he's hired to solve a problem. Sometimes he's hired to do something cruel. He prefers the one, but he isn't above the other. When Roarke is paid to locate a gorgeous banking executive's missing niece, he suspects the case might be just another ugly custody fight between the girl's parents. A single gunshot aimed his way proves him wrong and convinces him to give the missing girl his undivided attention. Soon, Roarke finds himself drawn away from his Detroit lair and into the northern Michigan wilderness, where a group of heavily armed militiamen calling themselves Sovereign North are holding the girl. Lead by a silver-tongued preacher and a remorseless killer calling himself the Last Watchman, the Sovereign are waiting for Roarke.They think they can bargain with him.
They think he can be reasoned with.
They're wrong.
