Synopsis

Paul Masterson was once the best at what he did, the undisputed star of the DEA's strike force. Then, six years ago, an ambush on a Miami pier killed his two young proteges and left Paul half-blind, his confidence shattered. He fled his wife and children for the majestic silence of Montana, where he has lived a hermit's life - until now.
Martin Fletcher is the diabolical DEA renegade who ordered Paul's death six years ago - just one step in an insanely single-minded drive for revenge against the colleagues he believes betrayed him. One day, he said, he would eat their hearts out. And Martin Fletcher is a man of his word.
For six years, he's preyed on the families of his enemies. One by one, he's stalked them, stolen into their lives, destroyed them. Paul Masterson's family - his estranged wife, Laura, his teenage daughter and nine-year-old son - are Martin Fletcher's final target. The last family.
And Paul Masterson, who once feared no one, must reach deep into his tortured being and recapture the strength, the fierce instinct to survive, that long ago made him Martin Fletcher's equal. He must discover a way to create a foolproof safety net around his family's home - all the while using them to lure an inhuman predator. And he must find the courage to face the people he loves most in the world.

From the Inside Flap:

her wants revenge...and knows how to take it. Once an elite, drug strike force agent, Fletcher was framed by colleagues who knew he was feeding information to the drug cartels--framed and sent to prison. Vowing revenge, he escaped and began to kill, one by one, the families of those he blamed. And the man he blames most is Paul Masterson.
Once Paul Masterson was the best at what he did. Then two young agents were killed saving his life in a drug raid that left Paul maimed and half-blinded. Shattered by guilt, he left his job and family for the mountains of Montana, where he has lived in his own prison of silence.
Now the family Paul has not seen in six years is Martin Fletcher's final target--the last family. And Paul Masterson, who for six years has lacked the courage to see the people he loves most in the world, must face them again. He must create a foolproof safety net around their New Orleans home--all the while using his wife and children to
