A powerful man in the CIA hires a psychopath to assassinate a foreign diplomat who plans to testify against him. But the psychopath, who calls himself "Digger," has his own agenda and list of victims, including a cop named Henry Culver whom Digger thinks "cheated" by presenting false evidence against him in court. When murders start mounting in a quiet Virginia town, it is up to Culver to find out who is behind an explosive and baffling trail of violence. By the author of the New York Times bestseller Balefire.
