A rogue grizzly bear has gone on a rampage, killing, among others, the fiancee of Joe Pickett's daughter. At the same time, Dallas Cates, who Joe helped lock up years ago, is released from prison with a list of six names tattooed on his skin. He wants revenge on the people who sent him away: the people he blames for the deaths of his entire family and the loss of his reputation and property.? Targeted are a judge, the county prosecutor, his lawyer, a prison guard, Joe's associate Nate Romanowski - and Joe Pickett himself. Using the grizzly attacks as cover, Cates devises a method of violence identical to the bear killings and sets out to methodically check off his list. Can Joe stop him before he himself becomes the next target on the killer's list?
