The Fugitive (The Border Series, #5)
Description
Every drug cartel in Mexico wants Lonnie Bowers dead. But there's only one person with the skill and patience to make a kill shot in the middle of a thousand miles of forested wilderness. Carlos Quintero is the best in Mexico, maybe the world. He doesn't miss, and he never returns without completing a contract.
Lonnie has been warned, but with cattle to check, fences to fix, and a multitude of other ranch chores the urg, a close family member is murdered, and Lonnie becomes the prime suspect. To avoid arrest, he disappears into the vast tract of mountain and forest bordering the Blackwater Ranch, beyond the reach of any lawman--except the bulldog cop, Corporal Mcalister.
In the wild bush country, Lonnie is the master. He could comfortably survive for years, but to keep his family safe he has to find the wealthy financier who paid nearly a quarter-million dollars to have him killed.
In a quiet Yucatan enclave, Lonnie confronts an evil he'd never thought possible. The mission may change his life--but will it clear his name?
