About this ebook
A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING LIAM NEESON
Jim Hanson, an ex-Marine sniper, was getting by in life as a rancher on the Arizona-Mexico border until his wife's recent battle with cancer wiped him out financially and hollowed him out emotionally. Then he encounters a young Mexican boy, Miguel, and his mother as they are fleeing from a vicious drug cartel. Jim calls the Border Patrol but is soon confronted by cartel soldiers who demand he turn over the mother and son. Jim refuses and is drawn into a shootout, narrowly escaping with Miguel and his mother, who has been fatally shot. She begs Jim to take her son to the safety of his relatives in Chicago just before dying.
Now being pursued by the cartel's relentless lead assassin, as well as Border Patrol Agents intent on sending Miguel back to Mexico (which is certain death), Jim finds himself as the boy's protector in a desperate race from Arizona to Chicago. Jim and Miguel fight for their lives during this deadly road trip, becoming the most unlikely pair of fugitives and helping each other heal from deep loss along the way.
"[T]he reimagining of the film The Marksman as an action-packed, character-driven novel is an extraordinary page-turner. It grabs the reader from the first sentence and never lets go." – Jay Bonansinga, New York Times bestselling author of Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead: Return to Woodbury

About the author
Robin G. Mercier's fascination with crime began as a child playing pinball on confiscated illegal gaming devices provided by his policeman uncle. His time on Chicago's south side gave him a glimpse into crime with a small "c," and later friendships with the children of reputed mobsters gave him a glimpse of crime with a capital "C," but it wasn't until his one-on-one meeting with Mayor Richard J. Daly in 1975 that he learned the real meaning of "Big City Boss." He now enjoys stripping off the garb of civilization, unzipping the skin of psychopaths, criminals, and societal misfits of all types, and then stepping inside to peer out at the world through this different and fascinating perspective.
