Description de l’éditeur
The government's most feared retired operative hunts an asylum's worth of escaped convicts and a serial killerwho executes entire towns
A murderer roams America—the worst the country has ever seen. Nicknamed Tiny Tim, he doesn't just kill individuals or families; he wipes out small towns. First Dixon Springs, Montana: population 108. Next, the 115 souls of Daisy, Georgia, done away with using his hands, a knife, and a silenced machine gun. The FBI considers him unstoppable, and so they call Jared Kimberlain.
The fearsome retired operative wants nothing to do with it, having gotten his fill of hunting serial killers years before, when he was nearly killed capturing a vicious psychopath named Andrew Harrison Leeds. But now, along with eighty-three other inmates, Leeds has escaped from the island institution where he was imprisoned. Between him and Tiny Tim, no soul in America will be safe until Kimberlain cleans up the mess.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Jon Land including rare photos from the author's personal collection.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Acts of violence, madness and sadism, detailed with loving care by Land ( The Valhalla Testament ), are the real stars of this tasteless thriller. Jared Kimberlain, lone survivor of the original Caretakers (``we take care of the country''), now works solo to track down ``the most loathsome of criminals.'' The FBI asks him to help find ``Tiny Tim,'' who recently wiped out two small towns--one person at a time. In return, they'll let Kimberlain look around ``the Locks,'' a sanitarium for the criminally insane from which serial killer Andrew Harrison Leeds recently escaped with 83 other inmates. Since Kimberlain put Leeds away, it's obviously in his best interest to find the murderer before Leeds finds him. Meanwhile, in Lebanon, a member of the new generation of Caretakers known only as Hedda narrowly escapes being killed by her own people; a terse message from a less fortunate comrade puts her on a trail of death and secrecy that winds back toward the U.S. Eventually the three mysteries intertwine and evil is halted, but not before a certain amount of sport with guns, explosives and garbage crushers.
