Red Mist (Mallory, Bk. 2)

Hiding out in a small village in France, ex-Special Forces veteran turned vigilante Mallory is trying to keep out of trouble, aware that there is a darkness within him that seeks out trouble--that enjoys it.

But one night in a bar he meets an old man afraid for his granddaughter, worried about the young man with whom she's become involved.

Unable to resist the pull of action, and of helping a family in need, Mallory is quickly drawn into a turf war that it will take all his special skills to survive.
