Nothing can stop an avenging vigilante from channeling her rage — or pursuing her prey. Not the relentless cops in her rearview. Not the cunning and elusive sociopath she’s closing in on. A robbery goes awry. A female deputy is tortured and murdered. The killer, hiding in plain sight, has officials in rural Wisconsin under his thumb — except for Special Agent Constant Marlowe, on an unsanctioned mission to avenge her friend’s death.
