Description de l’éditeur
Kennesaw Tanner used to be a shadow operative. Now, he operates on his own.
Tanner is in the coastal swamps of Georgia, hunting for the man who may have killed his friend. But he soon finds himself caught up in a running battle against a ring of brutal sex slavers for whom human life is a cheap commodity. Tanner must overcome soul-blackening corruption and confront the most inhuman degradation if he's going to make them pay.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Haney's fast-paced second novel featuring justice seeker Kennesaw Tanner (after No Man's Land), the empathetic Kennesaw, who lives on his sea skiff, Miss Rosalie, in the Savannah River, finds himself confronting the sex trade in Georgia's rural underclass while chasing down the story of the mysterious death of a young girl. Kennesaw's casual self-assurance makes him a charming action hero, but his smugness about his friendships with people less fortunate than him and his introspective asides about how we are ruining nature ("are we not content until we have cut down every ancient tree") and about the hopelessness of the lives of the poor ("a social disease for which there appears to be no immunization and no antidote") yield an unpleasant air of condescension and superiority. Still, both military and boating enthusiasts will be rewarded.
