A gripping tale of suspense, mystery, and the unyielding pursuit of justice. The Saga of the Hunter Continues

The quiet little south Georgia town of Mercy is rocked by the brutal murder of one of its most unassuming citizens. Within hours of the discovery of the crime, the remains of another victim are found in the Blood River. And then another. Things like this simply don’t happen in Mercy.

Until they do.

Police Chief Buck Lawson is still finding his way around his new hometown and his new job, but he is no stranger to the savagery that appears to be stalking the residents of Mercy once again. The black waters of the Blood River have a reputation as a killing field that goes back centuries, and Buck has seen for himself the kind of predator they attract.

While struggling with civil unrest, departmental incompetence, and unintentional interference from state investigators, Buck comes upon a set of twenty-year-old crimes that suggest a pattern. Has the same killer returned to Mercy now? And has he done so many, many times in the past? Buck Lawson races against time to catch a killer and protect the town he has come to call home from the shadows that lurk beneath its surface. As the hunter becomes the hunted, the line between predator and prey blurs, leading to a desperate confrontation in which only the most determined will survive.
