In the skies over West Virginia, an invisible predator hunts its prey. When friend and master falconer Chester Carew is found dead in the woods, private investigator Frank Pavlicek doesn't buy the official report of an accidental shooting. The trail leads to a shadowy group of domestic terrorists—and to Frank's former NYPD partner, Jake Toronto, who is accused of being involved with their plot. To prove Jake's innocence, Frank will have to trap the real killers before they can carry out their terrifying agenda.
