A FEMALE BOUNTY HUNTER TRACKS A SERIAL KILLER TO A RURAL MOUNTAIN TOWN.

​

A town with its own dark secret…

​

After serial killer Randall Burton is diagnosed with a terminal disease, he decides to jump bail and go out in a blaze of glory.

​

One woman stands in his way.

​

Her name is Counsel Fungo, and she’s an exceptionally talented bounty hunter, if a little eccentric. Officially, her two canine companions are therapy dogs. But she considers them partners. Counsel will do anything to stop criminals from preying on the vulnerable, and she’s intent on stopping Randall Burton.

​

Randall’s trail leads to sleepy Rancor, Pennsylvania. Named “the safest town in America,” it’s a quiet town tucked away in the Poconos. Its citizens are mostly widowers, bowlers, and bingo players.

​

But there’s a reason no one in Rancor has reported a major crime in the past 50 years.

​

And neither Counsel nor the killer are quite ready for what this town has in store.

​

Chris Bauer pens a gripping thriller filled with dark humor and clever twists. Recommended for fans of Stephen King and Elmore Leonard.
