A young domestic abuser is on the run, leaving behind his hospitalized victim. Working in his home county in New Hampshire, Deputy Mark Pollard and the Fugitive Task Force go to work trying to locate the accused. With a brutalized and hesitant victim and a suspect with multiple local connections in the drug trade, the team has to be sharp. Figuring out which sources to press and which sources to praise becomes difficult to decipher as the families and friends of both the victim and the accused transition from hostile to helpful and back.
As the hunt for the fugitive heats up, investigators turn their attention to a new crime, with an unexpected suspect.
Constricted, the third novel in the Deputy Mark Pollard Fugitive Series, is the follow up to Collateral Lead and Failure to Register. Like the books preceding, Constricted, a crime fiction novel, provides an insightful and realistic look into the work of the local and federal law enforcement agents that make up the United States Marshals Fugitive Task Forces.
