Dark Country (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781538778869)

USA Today bestselling and Edgar Award nominee for best novel author, Adam Plantinga returns with the next thriller story in Kurt Argento's journey as he finds himself protecting a boy from someone hunting him down.

After the events in Fenton, Arizona, ex-Detroit cop Kurt Argento is working under an alias as a handyman tending to the grounds for a church in Brandt, South Dakota. It's a peaceful existence but Argento is haunted by the dark path he found himself on, not knowing if there's a way to rationalize what he endured in the desert. But what he does know is that he is keeping a low profile and moving forward.

Until he meets 17-year-old, Majed, as he's pursued by two men. Argento can't help but intervene, not buying their claimed mistake thinking Majed took one of their wallets.

Never being able to leave an innocent in the path of danger, Argento unearths that the men were hired by a billionaire who's willing to pay for the life they want--and Majed is the key to it. And what ensues is a cat and mouse game as Argento gets caught in the bloodshed and corruption, with Majed at the very center.
