FBI mantracker Mitch Kearns is recruited to help a fellow field-agent solving the murder of an informant in the high-desert south of Winslow, Arizona. Together, they find themselves navigating a murky trail of suspects in the lucrative black-market trade of prehistoric artifacts, in a criminal manhunt that could put their own lives in the crosshairs.
This prequel short-story takes place during the weeks preceding Dead in Their Tracks, the first book in the Mitch Kearns Combat Tracker Series.
