After leaving the town of Woodward, Texas, and his secret sister, Beth Sloan, Jess is back on the hunt for Arnie Boseman, who has continued to escape his grasp. His hunt takes him to Webster, Texas, but he misses Boseman once more, and the killer has resumed his killing spree yet again. While in Webster, the Texas Ranger whose wife was Arnie Boseman’s first kill shows up in town. He gives Jess no choice but to let him join the hunt. The Ranger, Terrance Whittle, is so grief-stricken that he becomes erratic, putting both their lives in danger. Jess has to continue the hunt for Boseman, and at the same time keep the Ranger from doing something he’ll regret later. After finally sending Arnie Boseman to his grave, Jess receives a message from United States Marshal Frank Reedy. John Bodine was expected back in Stratton after helping Jess in Woodward but never showed up. Jess drops everything he’s doing and follows his back trail. He finds Bodine, who had been ambushed and left for dead but now John can’t remember anything. Jess hunts for the men he thinks are responsible with the help of the wolf named Shadow.

In 1990 Robert J. Thomas was sworn in as the full time mayor for the city of Westland, Michigan. He served twelve years, making him the longest serving mayor in Westland's history.

John Bodine was shot, kicked in the head and left for dead. Jess was notified John did not return to Stratton. So Jess back tracked and found John who was in a coma for a couple weeks. Shade comes to Jess to help find the one who tried to kill John Bodine. Lots of action as always. Great story. Ready for the next one Mr. Thomas.
The Jess Williams series will put a hook in you if you read one you will want to read all one hundred and five ,to date. If you start anywhere other then number one, stop and go back to book number one you will not regret it. The books a somewhat short about four plus hours but most a priced at 99¢.
I just want to congratulate MR Thomas on another outstanding book in the Jess Williams saga. I truly appreciate his incredible story telling and look forward to the next instalment!
I found it book to be rather disappointing. It didn't feel like there was enough excitement, Action sequences that were in there all Seemed very lame the author Just wanted to finish the book And be on The next one.
When John does not show up in Strandton, Frank send word to Jess to find him. Jess find him in Button Texas with a head wound and no memory. Jess finds the bad men who were tormenting Button along with helping the victims.
I enjoyed this story because Jess Williams was not the only person in the story. John Bodine was being featured in the story. I am glad the author changed the story a little it made the read more enjoyable.
I always enjoy Jesse's books. BUT Missed about 15. Could not get them on kindle.but will see if there is more. Enjoy folks I sure do. Always want to see what Jess is going ro find over the next hill. JD.
I enjoyed the plot in this story. If was different than most with Jess having to save his good friend John. Its fun to feel the compassion be shows complete strangers.
