It appeared that Montgomery Moserly had everything a young man could wish for - good looks, talent, a close family, a girlfriend, a job he loved and notable financial prospects. But by chance he became the only witness to a targeted shooting that left the victim dead. He took every precaution not to be detected by the two killers by hiding in his car. He also had the good fortune to have a camera in his Mustang and took photos of the shooters, their vehicle and the license number before he reported the incident to the police. His statements to the police, he thought, would be the end of his involvement in this brutal event, but a crooked cop trying to keep the killers and their gang from being discovered wanted no witnesses. He passed Monty's name on to the gangsters and kept them informed about his daily routines.
The killers and their boss launched an intense hunt for Montgomery with one goal in mind to speedily silence him. It quickly became apparent to Monty that he would not be safe at home, on the road or any place he could think of to hide. He had wronged no one but his safe, promising world had crashed suddenly. The killers hunted for him relentlessly. Often their attempts to find and silence him seemed secured, and he saw no way open to escape..
His ordeal also affected his family who daily feared for his life. The girl with whom he had been close for several years felt it best to move on to avoid any danger to her own life. Through the unsolicited assistance of strangers and a young woman fighting her own battles with whom he worked Monty managed repeatedly to avoid becoming a statistic. At times he saw no way left open for him to escape. All hope seemed futile. Even praying appeared to be too late.
The more often he slipped through the killers' traps the more intensely they hunted him. The daily attacks on his life eventually took him beyond the breaking point. In his state of mind he became convinced the only way out of the dangers he faced was for him to hunt his hunters. In desperation he set out to track down the individual who gave the orders to kill him thinking that by eliminating him he would regain his freedom and the bright future his years of study and hard work had promised him.
That he fell in love with the woman who came to his rescue a number of times complicated matters still more for him. He could not dare to involve her and expose her to the danger he faced. He knew all would be lost unless his plans to expose the gang were successful. But he faced professional killers, and he knew his chances to succeed appeared close to zero. He had not only witnessed a murder, but he also had gained too much evidence of the Assistant Captain’s involvement with the gangsters trying to silence him for for this cop to stay on the sidelines and for his own plans to be successful.
