Description
In the gritty streets of Detroit, homicide detective Raymond Cruz takes on Clement Mansell, a cunning and remorseless killer known as the Oklahoma Wildman. As Cruz investigates a seemingly random double murder, he finds himself drawn into a dangerous battle of wits with an adversary whose intelligence, audacity, and disregard for the law make him uniquely difficult to stop. Their growing antipathy—and unsettling recognition of one another—drives this taut crime novel, where justice, obsession, and personal codes collide. Blending hard-boiled police procedural with the moral tension and mythic confrontation of a modern Western, the book marks a pivotal transition in Elmore Leonard’s celebrated career.
