A year ago Thorn’s son, Flynn Moss, disappeared into the eco-underground, his only contact with Thorn a series of postcards chronicling his exploits. But a postcard arrives unlike the others, a call for help, Thorn jumps into action, setting off for North Carolina. But before Thorn arrives, he’s intercepted by a federal agent who informs him he’s too late—Flynn had been acting as an informant for the FBI, and when his traitorous acts were discovered, he was summarily executed.
The agent proposes a scheme to catch Flynn’s killer using Thorn as bait. Thorn, full of rage, accepts the job if only to get his hands on his son’s killer. The mission takes him to a small town where the gang is holed up, planning an attack on a hog farming operation that has been polluting local rivers and spreading illness through the area.
Little by little Thorn discovers that nothing he’s been told is true, and the trap they’re setting isn’t for Flynn’s killer, but for his partner, a woman who proves more daring and dangerous than any Thorn’s ever met. She’s on her own crusade of vengeance, and she and Thorn make an uneasy alliance. With her help Thorn uncovers a conspiracy that stretches far beyond this small Carolina town.

"In The Big Finish, James W Hall shows us a completely different side of his character Thorn. In previous books, Thorn has been a loner, with few attachments. Here he is attached in a huge way to his son, Flynn Moss. While Thorn thinks Flynn is just an eco-activist, he has no idea what serious trouble Flynn has gotten himself into. Sugarman and his current girlfriend are involved in this melange, too. The book keeps the reader guessing throughout the book, and just when something looks "like a duck," it is revealed to be something totally different. I love the plot twists and where the book takes Thorn and Sugarman."
