What it is
THE SYSTEM FAILED THEM. NEAGLEY WON'T.
She witnessed the crash. She pulled the survivor from the wreck. And when the investigation gets buried before it starts, Neagley decides the case isn't closed.
It's just hers.
A black Mercedes. A dead mother. A seven-year-old boy who never made it home. And a four-year-old girl fighting for her life in a Chicago ICU. Neagley has seen more than her share of violence and death, but some things you can't walk away from.
When the trail leads straight to a powerful figure, every door she opens gets slammed shut. The system has been bought. The case has been closed.
From the streets of Chicago's industrial corridor to the shores of Lake Michigan, Hard Target is a relentless thriller about one woman's refusal to let the powerful bury the truth. Neagley doesn't stop. Neagley doesn't lose.
Perfect for fans of: Lee Child's Jack Reacher series, David Baldacci's Amos Decker series, Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp thrillers, Brad Thor, Karin Slaughter, and anyone who likes their heroines smart, fearless, and absolutely lethal.
