The River Between

<p>When Marine sniper Mason Carr leaves the Corps he thinks the hardest part of his life is behind him. Huntsville Alabama gives him exactly what he wanted-steady work a stubborn wife who loves him and two daughters who think he can fix anything from broken toys to bad dreams.</p><p></p><p>A simple family trip to the North Georgia mountains changes all of that. On a narrow ridge road a staged breakdown turns into an ambush. Mason takes a bullet to the head and wakes up in the dirt to find his truck gone and his family taken.</p><p></p><p>The men who grabbed them aren't drifters. They're part of a cartel pipeline that runs along the Tennessee River-moving drugs weapons and people through quiet Southern towns that don't ask questions. They think they left Mason Carr dead on the mountain.</p><p></p><p>They're wrong.</p><p></p><p>Using the skills he thought he'd retired Mason tracks the route from a ranger station to a forgotten river port through an old power plant and into a network of corrupt cops and bought-and-paid-for officials. Along the way he crosses paths with Mateo Cruz a reluctant cartel driver with a family of his own and just enough conscience left to be dangerous.</p><p></p><p>As the bodies and bad decisions stack up Mason has to decide how far a father goes to bring his family home-and what kind of man walks back into his house after he's crossed that line.</p>
