Someone wants a bunch of angry white men with large arsenals. He's called Sensei. And he wants Mac to join up. If not? Well, then Sensei has other plans for him.

IT'S EVERY COP'S WORST NIGHTMARE Seattle Police Detective Joe Dunbar knew he'd screwed up big time, maybe even fatally. He swallowed hard, followed by a deep breath to steady himself. He'd managed to dodge the gunfire coming from the dark and nearly derelict house on Queen Anne. But he was trapped, now. He had already called for dispatch for backup. Shouldn't they should be here by now? Something cold settled in his stomach. They weren't coming, he thought. He had nightmares like this. They weren't coming. He considered his options, and then he sighed: hell of a thing, when a cop had to call a reporter for backup because his own had abandoned him. "Mac," he said softly into his phone. "It's Joe Dunbar. I need help." Book 4 in the series of Mac Davis thrillers, featuring a Marine turned cop reporter in Seattle.
