With his wedding day fast approaching and his PI boss heading out of town, ex-mob enforcer Jake Caldwell decides to take one more job before a much needed vacation. But in a matter of days, his client is assassinated and her six-year-old son kidnapped.
With just a few clues, Jake calls on old friends to help track down the person responsible. Only this time his fiancée Maggie, desperate for Jake to leave his violent history behind, can't guarantee she'll be there when, or if, he comes home.
But Jake can't turn his back on those who need him. It's in his blood.
A perilous plot of lies and secrets unfolds, and Jake encounters criminals more brutal than ever. And when a threat to thousands of innocent lives is uncovered, Jake once again dives back into his past, requesting favors from some unexpected and unsavory contacts.
Jake needs to stay one step ahead of the bad guys if he's to have any future at all. 
The third book in the JAKE CALDWELL series is an intense, complex, and frantic race against time. Weaver has done it again in this raw and riveting read set in the Ozarks.

As the body count rises, Jake and his best friend Sheriff "Bear" Parley follow the bloody clues, only to realize it's not just Shane who needs to be stopped.

*This book is more than simply a reprint of material already freely available on the Web (I’m looking at you, The J2EE Tutorial). * Concentrates on the parts of J2EE that readers find most interesting, accessible, and relevant for the start of their professional career – JSP and Servlets, rather than in depth coverage of EJB―helps reader accomplish something and may spark interest for further exploration of J2EE. * This title will concentrate on web development (using JSP and Servlets) but still be aimed at programmers who want to become J2EE developers – so it will be a title for the Java category, not JavaServer Pages.
