He reemerges in the small town of Barton, South Dakota, working under an assumed name as a church handyman. It's a serene existence of tending to the church grounds and avoiding questions. Until he meets seventeen-year-old Majed, a Syrian refugee trying to build a life in Barton with his single mother, as he's running for his life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTwo men with hard eyes are close behind. Argento steps in, and Majed's pursuers retreat with a thin excuse about a stolen wallet. It's a story Argento doesn't buy for a second. Digging deeper, he uncovers something far more lethal than a street-level shakedown. Majed isn't just in trouble--he's a target. And the hunters are closing in. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo safeguard Majed, Argento hits the road with the boy, pushing west. And along the way it becomes clear that whatever Majed knows--or carries--someone powerful wants it and will kill to get it. But Argento can't let that happen. Because he's made a promise. Protect the boy. Or die trying. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Explosive and compelling!\" --Lisa Gardner, #1 \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e bestselling author of \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eStill See You Everywhere\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grand Central Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781538778869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.25w x 1.25d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Adam Plantinga","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53195224907957,"sku":"9781538778869","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/9781538778869.jpg?v=1788273486","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/dark-country-9781538778869","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
