To the Porterville PD, she's the token woman cop. To a serial killer, she's the ultimate trophy. Detective Margaret "Magnum" Schultz has spent ten years surviving departmental politics and back-alley brawls. But she's never encountered a predator like this. He doesn't just kill-he erases his victims, leaving nothing behind but echoes and a pen full of satisfied hogs. What begins as a trail of evidence through rain-slicked backroads quickly turns into a lethal game of cat and mouse.
The hunter has become the prey, and the killer has found the one place Magnum thought was safe. When the butcher breaches the sanctuary of her own garage, Magnum is forced into a brutal, knock-down-drag-out fight for survival. With her thirteen-year-old daughter in the crosshairs, she must use every ounce of her training to prove she's more than just a token-or become the next meal on the farm.
