For fans of Lee Child's Jack Reacher series, a gritty female character who's every bit as hostile toward the criminal element as Reacher is-and maybe more.When ICE Agent Pamela R. Stone is fired from her fifteen-year position with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, she can't hit the open road fast enough, wind in her hair, sun on her cheeks, a new motorcycle rumbling beneath her.Instead of bidding adiós to Texas in her rear-view mirror as planned, she meets Detective Pete Anderson, who questions her concerning a triple homicide. The conversation soon turns personal, and before Reid knows it, not only is she involved with the detective, she's involved with another murder. When Detective Anderson admits to the true reason for taking an interest in Reid, she must choose between continuing on her journey or the hazards of traveling into Mexico ? to rescue a kidnap victim from a prostitution kingpin.However dangerous the choice might be, Reid has no problem taking the risk. If the opportunity to remove the criminal element from the human food chain presents itself, she's willing to do her part-because so few will.
