Hotshot pilot John Hardin has a dark history. He and his beautiful Cherokee girlfriend, Kitty Birdsong, are enjoying life in the Great Smoky Mountains when Nolan Rader, a former BATF agent, emerges from John’s violent past and demands help to save his younger brother, Clint Rader, from the vengeance of an outlaw motorcycle gang known as the Satan’s Ghosts. A warped genius called Brain controls the Satan’s Wraiths, an elite cadre of trained hitters within the worldwide gang, and Brain is privately conducting psychological research on Clint prior to killing him. John must agree to help Nolan Rader or face exposure about his past—and the only way to find out what he must know to save Clint Rader is to infiltrate the biker gang. This leads John down a lethally dangerous path between the law and the outlaws, ranging from Canada to the Bahamas. As events close in and the execution draws near, can John find some way to save Clint Rader before time runs out?

First Paragraphs ONE Razor Teague spent his last day on earth privately celebrating. He was assistant sergeant at arms for the South Atlanta chapter of the Satan's Ghosts Motorcycle Club, doing frequent errand chores mostly, and had found himself in a unique position to take advantage of a recent pill transaction. Six weeks ago club president Snake Conroy had told him to deliver a thousand tabs of ecstasy, packaged in twenty plastic vials of fifty each and contained in a cheap canvas briefcase, to a buyer in an Atlanta suburb, and to pick up the payment of ten thousand dollars and bring it back to the clubhouse. At six feet two, and two hundred twelve pounds, with long hair and the scarred face of a seasoned street fighter, Razor stood out anywhere and was well known to the law.
