The case wasn’t personal.
That’s what Seven Times told himself as he stepped off the train in Chicago.
 
But the name in the file was Blade Raines—original Stray Dog, former elite, now fugitive.
Wanted for the brutal murder of a Honduran cartel enforcer known only as The Plantain King.
The media calls it gang-on-gang violence.
Irish wants him brought in quietly.
Seven? He just wants the case closed—dead or alive.
 
To run down a Dog, he needs a new Pound Master—Dog Catcher, that's what they called em back in the day—
 
Enter Sophia Cifili, a North Side bounty hunter whose father died the same way he lived—hunted.
She swore she’d never follow his path… until the hunt gave her purpose.
 
Then there’s Sheriff Pennsylvania Ford, Great Lakes Fugitive Task Force.
Years ago, the Stray Dogs offered him a seat at the table. He walked away.
Now Raines is running wild in his jurisdiction.
This is his second chance.
Not to catch a fugitive… but to prove he could’ve run with the Dogs.
 
Many live a cruel life, few are granted a Good Death.
