So, the dog has been handed from owner to owner, until she’s become too much to handle, and now, the law is involved. No one has Salem’s best interests in mind, and they definitely don’t have Pete’s, either. Pierce is about to change all that - whether they like it or not.

In this 10th installment of the Jerry McNeal Series, Jerry and Gunter head to the Tidewater area of Virginia, which is the suspected home of the elusive Hash Mark Killer.
