W. Blakenship keeps a wary eye on Jake as he, too, tries to unravel the reason for the ill-fated raid.They keep meeting, locked in a dance neither acknowledges, as their separate hunts take them through local animosities, drug rings, an obsessed DEA agent, and a strange collective of retired Army men, culminating in an explosive confrontation neither could have foreseen.
