While hiking a deserted highway late one night, Captain Jake Black, ex-army officer, witnesses a car pull to the side of the road and dump a large wrapped bundle. The car sped away and Jake moved in to investigate. Hearing sounds from the bundle, Jake's first thought was that someone had dumped an injured dog. He carefully removes the wrapping to find a badly beaten woman. Despite pouring rain, Jake carries her to an isolated cabin.
Enlisting the help of an old army buddy, Sergeant Dusty Carter, Jake shelters the woman, Annie Franklin, in a secure private hospital.
Determined to find the persons responsible for Annie's torture, Dusty and Jake begin an intricate investigation. Over the weeks while Annie heals, the investigation heats up, as does Jake's passion for the young woman.
An Eye for an Eye, the fourth novel released by Don Stoddard, is an intriguing crime drama involving corrupt police and murderous mobsters.
