Persecution

The abduction of a woman sends ex-cop Artemis Herne back into the darkness of criminal investigation. But what first appears to be a simple kidnapping grows into a web of questions when her associates begin turning up dead and disemboweled, signed with the personal mark of the killer.

As the missing woman struggles with the chains of brutality and revenge that hold her hostage, the number of bodies tagged with the murderer's signature continues to grow. To save the woman and stop the merciless killings, Herne must hurry to uncover a history of persecution and deceit—and cope with the duplicity in his own life—before it's too late.
