In Wilson's rousing follow-up to his debut Jackson Wade and Dog novel, Dogs Bark and People Die, Jackson Wade, now a former Delta Force operator, finds little satisfaction in mercenary work or defeating fighters in Bangkok's underground fight circuit. Unexpectedly, Wade is asked by the CIA for a deniable favor. As Afghanistan is imploding, he is to covertly infiltrate the advancing Taliban forces to extract a high-priority woman of interest and two women CIA operatives trapped behind the Taliban lines. It could be a one-way mission, but Wade can't say no; he cares about one of the CIA operatives. With his Kuchi dog, Dog, by his side, Wade enlists help from a retired Delta Force teammate and from an untested newcomer to race to reach the women before they are either captured, killed, or betrayed. Time is the team's enemy, but no rules of engagement are their friend. As the body count rises and betrayal hovers on the horizon, events and information conspire to force Wade to make choices that might compromise the team's efforts to guide the women to safety. As Wade relies on his expanding psychic connection to Dog to lead the way, an old ally aids in their escape to Pakistan while a long-standing enemy seeks retribution for his misjudgments of the past. It is touch and go. Will they live or die?
