Five years ago, U.S. Air Force pararescue jumper Garrett Shepherd saved a stranger’s life. Now that man, Edwin Sprague, is dead—and he’s left his savior millions of dollars in thanks. But there’s a catch: Edwin has a task for Garrett to complete that will double his money—if he survives. Edwin wants revenge, and he wants Garrett to get it for him.

 Garrett gives the bizarre escapade one week, but he’s quickly pulled into a dangerous world of scandal, bribery, and secrets worth killing for. Garrett has attracted the attention of some very powerful people—people who have destroyed their enemies before and will not hesitate to do it again. With the help of Navajo policeman Klah Nez and lawyer Stephanie Levine, Garrett’s investigation leads him deep into the Navajo reservation and the deserts of Utah and Arizona—but uncovering the information he’s hunting for proves to be a deadly quest that may seal his fate.
