Two men. One gun. No escape.

A gripping Colter Shaw short story from the master of suspense, with a twist you won't see coming.

A captive held at gun point.

In search of a missing woman in Kansas, unique investigator Colter Shaw finds himself in the middle of a violent kidnapping that sends shockwaves through the rural community.

 

An investigator running out of time.

Someone has taken a local man captive and barricaded themselves in a lake-side property. The phone line has been cut and Shaw is the only person with a chance of getting the innocent victim out alive.

 

A twist nobody saw coming.

But before long the case takes an unexpected turn, and Shaw begins to suspect that the simple kidnapping has a darker purpose - one that might end with murder...
