Dark Country

De: Adam Plantinga

Argento finds himself shielding a teenage boy caught up in a manhunt in this explosive installment of the Kurt Argento series, from USA Today bestselling author, Adam Plantinga.

“Brutal, unflinching and honest. A true triumph!.”—Jack Carr, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Terminal List and The Fourth Option

After the bloodshed in Fenton, Arizona, former Detroit cop Kurt Argento had to disappear. He reemerges in the small town of Barton, South Dakota, working under an assumed name as a church handyman. It’s a serene existence of tending to the church grounds and avoiding questions. Until he meets seventeen-year-old Majed, a Syrian refugee trying to build a life in Barton with his single mother, as he’s running for his life.

Two men with hard eyes are close behind. Argento steps in, and Majed’s pursuers retreat with a thin excuse about a stolen wallet. It’s a story Argento doesn’t buy for a second. Digging deeper, he uncovers something far more lethal than a street-level shakedown. Majed isn’t just in trouble—he’s a target. And the hunters are closing in.

To safeguard Majed, Argento hits the road with the boy, pushing west. And along the way it becomes clear that whatever Majed knows—or carries—someone powerful wants it and will kill to get it. But Argento can’t let that happen. Because he’s made a promise. Protect the boy. Or die trying.

"Explosive and compelling!" —Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Still See You Everywhere
