Once a hardened CIA operative, now a quiet man running a small pawnshop, John has traded in his old life of espionage for solitude. But peace is elusive for a man haunted by the ghosts of his past. That is, until he meets MARA, a troubled teenager abandoned to the cruelty of her drug-addicted mother. In Sophie, John finds an unlikely companion-someone who, like him, carries scars of the past but still clings to hope.
When MARA is kidnapped by a ruthless criminal syndicate, John is forced to confront the nightmare he thought he'd escaped. With vengeance burning in his veins, he embarks on a blood-soaked rampage through the seedy underbelly of Manila, hunting down anyone who stands between him and the girl he swore to protect.
In a city ruled by corruption and power, John's quest for justice will leave a trail of destruction no one can ignore. His former life as a covert agent may be gone, but his skills-and his rage-are sharper than ever. No matter where MARA is hidden, no matter how deep the syndicate thinks they can bury her... John Hunter will find her.
