As a former political tracker with a brand-new law degree, Sam Callahan has turned his life around, leaving behind a childhood ravaged by abuse and a fatally dangerous job shadowing political candidates. Now a lawyer, Sam hopes for a risk-free future, but harm’s way has a much longer reach than he could ever expect.
His very first legal client is gunned down in a Mexico City hotel, and Sam barely dodges a bullet himself. Suddenly on everyone’s most-wanted list—brutal hit men, hostile cops, relentless FBI agents, and even an infamous assassin—he doesn’t have the luxury of finding out why.
When Sam’s girlfriend is dragged into the fray by a kidnapper, Sam would do anything to save her life. The catch? He’s got only twenty-four hours to do it…but any number of ways to die.

Edgars did not have good news for Sam
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2017

Mexico City, Mexico. Samuel Weldon Callahan, (Benoltz & Ass., lawyer, Georgetown; JD), had jumped out the Four Seasons Hotel window & luckily landed in the courtyard. Nothing broken, nothing hurt. The assassin was nowhere in sight.
Natalie Foster (Sam’s wife, PowerPlay reporter, DC political blog, U of Missouri, Lady Tigers SB) was out/about getting the next scoop. Tom Hawkins (55+, lawyer, Hebbard & Hawkins, LLP., Sam Houston State BA, Texas Tech JD) had been murdered. Rich Hebbard (Sam’s biological father, Hebbard & Hawkins, LLP., Tulane; BA, U of Mississippi; JD) had been found dead also. Would Francisco Zapata (Chamber of Deputies, Mexico’s congress, Lázaro Cárdenas city, Cuerpo de Fuerzas Especiales Special Forces) know anything about the 2 killings? Dr. Edgars did not have good news for Sam.
What does Senator Mark Liddell (AL.) about Lex Hester (US) & Francisco Zapata (Mexico)? What will become of Alger Gerlach?
I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.
A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written crime thriller book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great crime thriller movie, or better yet a mini TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is a very easy rating of 5 stars.

This is the second book in a trilogy
Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2023

Chad Zunker is an excellent storyteller. I have read several titles of his so far, and just finished three “Sam Callahan” books. The first, “The Tracker”, lays the groundwork of Sam’s life and takes the reader on a thrilling ride. The second, “Shadow Shepherd” (THIS BOOK) continues Sam’s adventures but on a higher and more danger-ridden level. The third, and what I assume is the final tale, “Hunt the Lion” brings all the mayhem, bullets-flying, dangerous-living events to a satisfying ending. These books are not for those whose blood pressure can be adversely affected by seemingly never-ending chases, derring-do, and betrayals (both real and imagined). Set against a background of governmental plotting and planning, including misleading our intrepid hero in several ways, the books each pack a good punch.
