The Strangers - Paperback

Five years after The Dispatcher, the sound of gunfire shatters Ian Hunt's peace--and drags him back into a nightmare.

Since rescuing his abducted daughter, Maggie, Chief Ian Hunt has carved out a quiet life in Bulls Mouth, Texas. Maggie is healing. Ian is finally breathing again. And his bond with Sally De Santo--the town's dangerously alluring gun shop owner--has grown into something worth holding on to.

But all it takes is one phone call. One gunshot. One assassin who never misses.

The hit on Sally explodes Ian's world, leaving her in a coma and entangling him in a deadly conspiracy of gun trafficking and blood money. As Ian pulls at the threads of Sally's shady dealings, he finds himself colliding with Agent Abigail Tate of the ATF, who has been hunting a Mexican cartel's weapons dealer for years. Together, they face a grim reality: Sally's secrets have made her a target, and the people coming for her don't stop until their enemies are buried.

When Sally wakes, survival takes a terrifying twist--she remembers everything but no longer recognizes a single face. Allies and enemies blur together, and one wrong move could be her last. Now, Ian must deliver her to safety while facing a ruthless enemy who thrives in the shadows, a killer who knows how to hide in plain sight.
