Synopses & Reviews
Weyman Jones's latest thriller is as timely as the next Middle East religious riot. It introduces a
contemporary Cherokee obsessed with his ancient obligation to avenge the murder of his clansmen.
He plans to display his revenge murders on YouTube to reawaken the passions of his people. He
captures a young woman to help him target her estranged husband. As their relationship develops,
she is faced with agonizing choices. The tension builds as both the Cherokee and his intended victim
prepare for a showdown that results in consequences neither had expected.
As in his other thrillers, Jones infuses the relentless action of this story with the dilemmas faced by
complex characters whose choices lead to a surprising resolution.
