Description
The first novel in the gripping Tim Rackley series from the internationally bestselling author, Gregg Hurwitz.
Tim Rackley is a deputy US marshal who is very good at his job - until everything he believes in is shattered by the brutal murder of his own daughter. Betrayed by an imperfect judicial system, Rackley watches helplessly as the killer walks free. Bent on vengeance, he is forced to explore his own deadly options, a quest that leads him into the shadowy no man's land between justice and the law . . . and into the welcoming fold of The Commission, a relentless vigilante group.
But as he's dragged deeper into a deadly morass of hidden agendas and murderous justice, his secret new life starts coming unwound and he's suddenly caught in the most terrifying struggle he has ever faced - a desperate battle to save his marriage, his career, his life, his soul, and everything left that's worth fighting for.
