内容简介
As an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms,
William Queen must tackle a number of challenging cases. In the
winter of 1985, he faces his toughest mission to date: He must
apprehend Mark Stephens, a notorious narcotics trafficker who has
been terrorizing the communities around Los Angeles with frequent
rampages involving machine guns and hand grenades. A recluse living
in the treacherous backwoods outside the city, Stephens is a wily
survivalist. Nobody has been able to catch him, but Queen is
determined to take him down. Queen’s unique expertise is not taught
in any police academy or ATF training seminar–he honed his
outdoorsman abilities as a kid. He is adept at hunting and trapping
and living for weeks in the wild. Queen will use these skills–along
with surveillance, confidential informants, and intelligence
gathering–as he doggedly tracks his dangerous quarry, a chase that
culminates in a gripping showdown high in the San Bernardino
Mountains.
