"CORMAC McCARTHY MEETS QUENTIN TARANINTO . ASTONISHING AND VICIOUS." --Michael Cross, author of Afterhuman John Case has a package everyone wants. It's a murder weapon never fired and it can make him very rich-or very dead. He was to deliver it to a contact in Los Angeles, but he got no further than the middle of Nowhere, Mississippi. He only stopped for some Ho-Hos at a convenience store when a poorly-dressed kid handed him a note in the snack food aisle scrawled in mascara: Help Us God Please. Now, Case finds himself stranded in a town with all hell about to break loose. A ruthless police "negotiator," a beautiful and lethal street assassin, a good-ole boy sheriff, human traffickers, and a hulking mountain man survivalist.Case has paused just long enough in his cross-country dash to allow them all to catch up. They're poised for a shoot-out to end all shootouts, while back in Manhattan, an entire city teeters on the verge of apocalypse after the shooting of an unarmed man.
