Seemingly retired bounty hunter Jack Keller is drawn back into action in Rhoades's fourth series installment (after Safe and Sound). Jack is living quietly in the Southwest, working in the same bar as his love interest, when Angela, an old flame and former boss, seeks him out to help find her missing husband. Unable to resist the adventure that goes along with bounty hunting, Jack is soon involved with tracking down a human trafficking ring seemingly connected to an extreme group of white supremacists. At the same time he's chasing down those behind the disappearance of his friend, he's also forced to deal with his feelings for Angela while balancing his past and present.
VERDICT Jack is a fun character to root for and more than a little reminiscent of Jack Reacher. Rhoades doesn't waste time with unnecessary dialog, preferring instead to let the action speak. This is a fast and fun read, one that will appeal to fans not only of Keller but also to readers of Lee Child and other act first, ask questions later tough guys.
