At age seventeen, Shay Harlowe lost his father to a hired gunman. The shooter was never apprehended. Now Shay, known as “The Intimidator,” is a Deputy U.S. Marshal with a reputation as a villain to villains – bad news for the Deegans, a Wilkes County crime family dealing marijuana and prescription painkillers in the North Carolina mountains.

When Shay learns that they were responsible for his father’s murder, he vows to show them the source of his nickname. But Christmas tree farmer Clint Purdy and his pill-pushing friend Vickie Beaumont plan to seize the Deegans’ drug racket for themselves … if they can hide their crimes from Shay. And before it’s all over, everybody might just find themselves in a violent shootout over justice, family, and a whole lot of blood money.
