In this blistering conclusion to the nationally bestselling series, Burke is forced into a journey that will change the lives of the urban survivalist and his outlaw family forever. The only person Burke has ever called father, known throughout the underground as “The Prof,” is in a coma, barely clinging to life in an off-the-books hospital. So when Pryce, a slippery man with government connections, offers the best medical services for the Prof and a clean slate for all concerned, Burke takes the contract without reading it. The two-year-old son of a Saudi prince has been kidnapped. A highly professional snatch; no mistakes, no clues, and no ransom note. Burke’s job: get the kid back, whatever it takes. To do so, the ultimate man-for-hire must return to the day “Baby Boy Burke” was written on his birth certificate, and write, in the blood of his enemies, the final act of this story.
Another Life
Flower came from inside Immaculata’s body; Michelle had taken Terry’s shivering little body into her arms and never let him go. That happened in the backseat of my car, as I was driving away from what I’d left of the pus–sack who’d been renting the kid out. Come from, come to—no difference. They’re both ours. Our blood. How you look at it doesn’t matter to us. Citizens think a trial verdict depends on the evidence; we know all that counts is who’s on the jury. Some of you get to visit our world, but none of you really see it. Some of you try too hard, stick your nose in too deep. Then you don’t get to leave.
