Synopsis:

50 years ago, in Beirut, the city called the Paris of the MIDDLE East, three boys swore an oath of allegiance and alliance. Swore to protect and support each other, no matter what the world would throw at them.

20 years ago, as successful businessmen and world class hunters, their loyalty and friendship strengthened by the bond of time, they meet to create and promote a revolutionary idea: Hunt down any animal, no matter how endangered, and yet at the same time, still preserve and protect the species. They create their club, but in the process, they also create a secret.

Now, their idea has flourished into a worldwide club, but there is a good chance, their secret is going to kill them, as well as all of those they love. Unless one man, retired from the FBI to a backwater sheriff’s badge in Wyoming, can figure out who has twisted their secret into his own deadly game.

“I think, when you invite men to hunt men, you really shouldn’t be surprised when they start to hunt YOU…”

About the Author: KYLE C. FITZHARRIS is an American novelist, screenwriter, and the best-selling author of political thrillers, The Eighth Plague and The New Americans. Fitzharris worked intelligence in Central America and Mexico and led a task force of eight federal agencies. His efforts helped indict international conspirators responsible for drug smuggling, money laundering, murder-for-hire, and terrorist funding. In 2012, Fitzharris was handpicked by the U.S. Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta and nominated by the Joint Chiefs of Staff as well as the Department of Defense to the prestigious JCOC & DOCA. He was honored further by being tasked with the mission of bringing greater attention to Wounded Warriors, as well as creating awareness of the struggles facing the families of deployed and post-deployed men and women of the U.S. Armed Services. His upcoming thriller, Scorched, centers on a Wounded Warrior amputee fighting the effects of PTSD while racing to stop cyber terrorists bent on starting World War III. Fitzharris resides in Southern California. HARRY STEDMAN, one of nine brothers, spent the first 10 years of his life growing up and working on his father’s farm in Kansas. As a young adult, Harry spent four years in the Air Force and then eight years in mechanical and electrical training and servicing equipment, most of which was at Vandenberg AFB, in the early days of missile development for the space program. He then had the opportunity to get into the horse business and he never looked back. Work ethic is a must if you make a living farming and raising livestock and it’s also important in the breeding and training of Bloodstock horses, which Harry did for over 30 years. His most enjoyable part of working with horses was training the young horses. While a trainer is putting miles, that translate to hours, on a horse for the purpose of conditioning and then later to create muscle memory, one has a lot of time to think... which is when the ideas for the characters and story in this novel came to Harry.
