Slug Wiseman, Michael Flowers' Jackal, intelligent, humane-inhumane, Stone-Age ugly, ingenious, a mystery, a rare breed and monstrous, is the most wanted. In this Mario Puzo's Godfather meet The Terminator thriller, Slug is arrested, tried, found guilty and sentenced to death by lethal injection. But when Slug reaches out after death, determined to prey on those who have either endorsed or witnessed his execution, and his quest approaches its climactic horror, the nation is once again reduced to tremulous gibbering in what is set in the aftermath of a horrific execution.
