Clyde Barr returns in โone of the best thrillers of the yearโ (The Washington Times) that โpromises intense, edge-of-the-seat excitement to anyone who picks it upโ (Nelson DeMille).
Clyde Barr, the drifter with lethal skills, is alone again, wandering the highways of the American West in search of something to believe in. As summer turns to autumn, he trades his car for a horse and heads for the mountains, planning to clear his head and regain his edge with some hunting. But when he runs across an elderly sick manโa Ute Indian from a nearby reservationโClydeโs dream of solitude is quickly dashed.
On the reservation, Clyde finds the old manโs daughter, Lawana, as well as a group of menacing bikers called the Reapers running wild in the economically depressed, half-abandoned village. Gripped by the desire to do good in a bleak world, Clyde offers to stay on Lawanaโs ranch to help out until her father is released from the hospital. He controls himself around the bikers, even when he sees them harass a few Native American womenโbut when the Reapers attack a local boy Clyde has to do something. As tensions rise between the locals and the Reapers, Clydeโs efforts to protect the reservation become a fight for his and Lawanaโs lives. And then the stakes ratchet up even more.
A Promise to Kill is the edge-of-the-seat sequel to Nothing Short of Dying that โreaders will have a hard time puttingโฆdownโ (Publishers Weekly).
