Description

Francis Ackerman Jr. is incapable of fear and addicted to pain, but sometimes stopping the worst of the worst is a job for the best of the bad. Ackerman―an infamous mass murderer now working as a special consultant for the US government―must find a missing member of his team before she becomes the next victim of a serial killer known as the Taker.

With the help of his brother, Special Agent Marcus Williams, Ackerman must solve a twenty-year old cold case that connects to a string of abductions surrounding the Navajo Nation. The investigation leads them deep into the heart of the largest American Indian reservation in the US, where a drug runner and gang leader has established his own kingdom in the small town of Roanhorse, NM. With the trail ending in the seemingly quiet town, Ackerman has no choice but to declare war in order to flush out the Taker and rescue the missing member of what he has begun to call his family.

But the threats for Ackerman are not only external. He must also contend with increasingly frequent hallucinations and a growing concern that his symptoms are worsening…

"The best book of its kind since Thomas Harris retired Hannibal Lecter. A cat-and-mouse game extraordinaire." – Jon Land, bestselling author of STRONG VENGEANCE on THE PROPHET

FINALLEEE 😯 That was the sixth and final book of the Shepherd series... Oh, I'm sad 🥺. But wow, that book was super exciting! Marcus and Ackerman are looking for Maggie, who, in turn, is looking for the Taker. With this book, Ethan Cross has really outdone himself – it was thrilling from beginning to end. There was a tense, warlike atmosphere. You don't want to mess with Marcus and Ackerman; you could feel their dark sides emerging more and more. While Marcus didn't seem to care about it as long as he got Maggie back, Ackerman was fighting a battle against himself, desperate not to unleash the monster inside him. 🫣 These brothers are an amazing duo!! And I love them so much 🩷 The ending was shocking. You just didn't see that coming 🥺. It took some time to process it. The first and the last book are my favourites from the Shepherd series. 😊 What can I say? If you're in the mood for a thriller with a serial killer who changes and turns to good, then this book series is perfect for you. 👍🏻
