With a bounty on his head and a bullet in his leg, Cork is hiding out in the small Michigan town of Bodine with his cousin, Jewell, and her fourteen-year-old son, Ren. Ren and two friends, Charlie and Stash, find the body of a teenage girl, endangering their lives and threatening to expose Cork's hideout. They discover the girl is only the latest victim of men preying on runaway teens who now have Charlie in their sights.
I liked how Krueger intertwined the two plotlines—Cork's run for his life and the danger the teens are in—to form a unique story that is both dark and compelling. As I continue to read this long-running series, I highly anticipate each installment as Krueger continues to flesh out characters and build atmospheric locations.
4/5 stars.
